I chose the Midwest data since it covers a large region giving a better understanding of
consumption of energy in a vast area. Yes, it is related to the question that I am supposed to
answer since it helps me understand how the energy is consumed which help me know ways in
which it can be used efficiently.
Which metrics are best for understanding the nature of the problem?
Best metrics should help me understand how to lower the overall consumption of energy by
eliminating power wastage. This metrics will help me observe the impacts of individual energy
efficiency projects, programs and policies. They will also help me infer the aggregate changes in
energy efficiency when it comes to...
