Since a geothermal heat pump runs on electricity measured in kilowatt hours (kWh), and a condensing boiler is fueled by natural gas measured in therms, it's necessary to convert kWh of electricity into "therms" to make an accurate comparison.
An example equation might be: Baseline kWh = (2064 kWh/Day * #Days ) + ( 72 kWh/CDD * #CDDs ) The equation tells us that the building uses 2064 kWh for every day in the billing period, and for every Cooling Degree Day (CDD), the building uses 72 kWh.
Once you know the average wind speed at a given location and the propeller length, you can estimate monthly kWh production.
