Electricty uses by cause from fitting.

I was looking for some data to use a cool graphing website called RAW.  I have been collecting hourly electricty usage from the Delmarva Power website for my house.

I plugged in my model fit for the electricty use at my house into the RAW website.  The categories are listed below:

• constant - use of electricity throughout the year not assignable to any cause.
• due to X mas - in 2011 and 2012 ude to the Christmas lights
• due to cooling degree days - electricity used to air condition (cool) the house
• due to heating degree days - electricity used to heat the house (more important in 2013 with addition of more floor heating)
• residual - error in the fit vs. the actual kWh usage. (sometimes negative)

RAW produced this plot.




I think it looks nice.  More kWh are used during the summer for cooling.  Less in the winter for a little bit of Christmas lights and a small amount of cooling until Winter 2013-2014 when the solarium floor was turned on for the first time.
