Point Multiplier

Definition: A colloquial term for load correlation coefficient. A numeric value that when multiplied by the number of units of a given building component will yield the overall contribution of that component to the annual heating, cooling or hot water load for the building. Florida's energy code for residential buildings uses summer point multipliers (SPM), winter point multipliers (WPM) and hot water point multipliers (HWPM) to compute the various annual loads for the residence.
