August 24, 2012



I spent roughly 10 hours on campus yesterday.

In addition to my usual advising in the newsroom, I attended fall convocation, the annual meet–and–greet at the start of the new school year.

I don't know what the weather was like yesterday afternoon and into the evening, but I was told it got quite warm.

I wasn't at home, where I could switch things off or adjust the thermostat.

But, apparently, it wasn't much worse than the day before. In fact, my electricity consumption was precisely what it was the day before — 16 kWh. Even though there have now been several days of sub–20 kWh days for me this August, it is still startling to see evidence of an energy consumption level that I didn't expect to see until October or November.

Yet, there it is. My meter reading yesterday was 5521 kWh. My meter reading today is 5537.
