I haven't looked at the IT consumption for a while and I was curious if any changes had been made regarding the AC usage. The inconsistent consumption takes place between 8 am and 5 pm during the typical school and work day. The dormant consumption is clearly computers charging as the consistent and evenly spaced incremental spikes of consumption indicate. The graph below displays the past 12 months of data.
There have been no serious changes in consumption. The peak remains between 12-14 kWs. The short periods of decreases in the blue are indicative of weekends, while the large periods of time with decreased consumption correlate with various breaks.

Ok, good news: I repaired the gym sensors, they now work. I also installed a web enabled thermostat in the middle AC unit on the IT building, which should enable us to decrease the overnight use. It turns out the plastic cases over the thermostats are blocking the IR occupancy sensor, making the thermostat think there are people in the lab 24x7. This is great analysis. Would you be interested in demonstrating your project at the town meeting held at the elab in May?
