The degree of electron heating is well correlated with the inflowing Alfv\\'en speed $c_{Ar}$ based on the reconnecting magnetic field through the relation $\\Delta T_e = 0.033 \\,m_i\\,c_{Ar}^2$, where $\\Delta T_{e}$ is the increase in electron temperature. For the range of simulations performed, the heating shows almost no correlation with inflow total temperature $T_{tot} = T_i + T_e$ or plasma $\\beta$.
