What this means in Fresno
The reference model assumes a covered, insulated 100-gallon outdoor plunge maintained at 50°F, with continuous low-power circulation and a chiller operating at an assumed coefficient of performance. It is designed for city-to-city comparison, not to predict the exact power draw of a specific product.
This climate does not show a monthly-normal average below freezing in the current model, though individual freezing days can still occur.
