Rich Gas = natural gas having a gross calorific value of 41,868 kJ/m3.
Degree-days = the number of degree-days of a day is calculated on the
basis of a reference temperature set by experience at 16.5 C; it gives the
difference between that reference temperature and the daily mean temperature
if the latter is the lower.
The number of degree-days of a year is the sum of the degree-days registered
for each day of that year.
G-factor = invoicing factor representing the average monthly cost of
natural gas at the Belgian border in francs per gigajoule.
