I'm confused. "Heat loss" + "Atlanta" = free cooling ~10 months of the year? Maybe just get some house slippers?

Most people are surprised to learn that most "hot" places in the US, like Atlanta, spend more energy heating than cooling (measured using heating and cooling degree days). https://www.climate-zone.com/climate/united-states/georgia/atlanta/

It looks like Atlanta has more freezing days than I would have guessed. Still, I question their methodology since I checked where I currently live and the heating/cooling hours are way off. Maybe they didn't see the TMNT PSA about changing their thermostats each season?
