Energy consumption per square meter


Recommended Posts

I've built an Arduino based data logger to record outdoor temperatures and what my oil boiler is doing (run times) so I can work out roughly how much energy my house uses. 

 

I don't have much data yet but it looks like over the past month (two cold and two mild weeks?) the boiler has been firing for 25% of the time. Means the heat loss and DHW consumption averaged about 9kW. 

 

Can anyone suggest interesting ways to munge and graph the data in excel?

Yes, but it depends what you actually want to show.

I can sort my data by time i.e. day, month.  I chart the energy usage by time of day, then plot usage, temperature inside and out, and show the amounts used and the date that is relevant.  Just working on a new template that can more easily take the 6 second data that my logger collect.
