At last weeks Coffee with Caleffi webinar, Jody did a fine job of showing and explaining the concept.
Using ASHRAE Hours of Occurrence data you can determine what % of the season you are at, below or above design condition. This example was for Boston.
With this data and a proper ODR installed and adjusted you may be able to allow the boiler to run in condensing mode for much of the season.

HR, the webinar was nicely organized. A good watch even for those that are fluent in combustion and modcons. You never know where you can pick up a tip or two.:NYplumber:0
