Why is it important?
Accurate forecasts of electricity consumption trends and variations are important, because they can help avoid power outages, waste of scarce energy resources, and over investment in capital equipment.
Perspectives
Monthly residential electricity consumption has a quadratic relationship with monthly mean air temperature while monthly commercial electricity consumption has a linear relationship with monthly mean air temperature. Commercial building owners should find ways to reduce ventilation loads, such as adopting heat recovery ventilation systems, etc.
