According to Figure 2 of the GHP paper that must be why Daytona would be preferable to Birmingham or Dallas if you wanted to minimize overall energy use by focusing on AC alone, using little or none during the warmer months. A basic rule of thumb is that it takes enough natural gas to heat three homes in order to produce the electricity to heat only one home. Also that it takes about 3kWh of electricity for an AC unit to cool off the heat produced by 1kWh of electrical appliances or other heat sources.
