I was on the Richland College campus all afternoon yesterday, advising the student newspaper staff as I usually do on Fridays during the school year.
The newsroom is partly underground, and the windows there only look out into the hallway. There is no way to see if the sun is shining — and certainly no way to assess the air temperature — from that vantage point.
Consequently, I had no idea what the weather was like.
But I had heard weather forecasts that indicated the temperature would be around 90° so I really expected the A/C in my apartment to kick on fairly regularly in my absence.
However, based on today's meter reading, I used less energy in the last 24 hours than I did in the previous 24 hours. In the 26 days that I have been monitoring my meter, my daily consumption has averaged 11.6 Kwh.
As I have observed before — but now I have nearly four weeks' worth of data to support my conclusion — that is well below the average that the utility company claimed in my last statement.
