A computer-implemented method for itemizing energy consumption to generate and present a utility consumption profile based on disaggregated historical utility consumption data is presented. The computer-implemented method comprises obtaining data indicating historical utility consumption of a dwelling over a time period. A non-seasonal portion of the historical utility consumption data is then determined by first computing an average utility consumption based on one or more predetermined intervals within the time period, and then computing the non-seasonal portion by applying the average to the time period. The non-seasonal portion is then subtracted from the historical utility consumption data to obtain a seasonal portion of the historical utility consumption data. The seasonal and/or non-seasonal portion may be further disaggregated by end-use methods, and presented to the user in the utility consumption profile.

According to the invention, a method for valuing the contribution of IP Blocks into integrated circuit (IC) designs includes implementing a novel concept for valuing technical and economic factors. Based upon such factors, users can more reliably value, select and use IP Blocks for their IC design that furthers their objectives. In an embodiment according to the present invention, a method for determining a group of IP Blocks from a plurality of IP Blocks to incorporate into a circuit design includes the steps of determining a circuit architecture to be implemented by the circuit design, and determining a valuation for implementing the circuit architecture.
