What the year looks like outside in Toronto

Monthly average outdoor temperature, ten years observed. This is the starting point of a room, not its temperature: a heated or air-conditioned home departs from it, and that gap is exactly the work.

How many months a keeper here runs added heat

All 7 of them sit above Toronto's outdoor average every month of the year. Heat is not a winter cost here, it is a permanent one.

Months whose outdoor average in Toronto sits below the night floor that each species' own care sheet states. Two measured numbers put side by side, nothing else: an indoor room changes the answer, and the audit is where you check yours.
