I posted an article that looks at some data I captured using a whole-home energy monitor. I also posted the data. I put up a challenge for anyone who wants to take a stab at it.
http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/User:Joe_Bogner/EnergyUsageAnalysis How often does the air conditioner or clothes dryer turn on? How long does it normally run, when did it run the longest? Is it possible to determine when I go to bed or wake up? I'd be interested in any approaches to answering any of these questions or other analysis on the data For example, the air conditioner draws a significant amount of energy. I just turned it on and my usage went from 1460-6000 watts. Looking at the change in prior reading may be a good start plot (}. reading - (_1 |.!.0 reading)) I have an electric dryer and electric oven. I hope the data and article is interesting/useful ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
