The horizontal axis shows dates from January 1, 2018 to December 1, 2018, with monthly tick marks labeled January 1, 2018, February 1, 2018, March 1, 2018, April 1, 2018, May 1, 2018, June 1, 2018, July 1, 2018, August 1, 2018, September 1, 2018, October 1, 2018, November 1, 2018, and December 1, 2018. The vertical axis is labeled “Electricity use (kilowatt-hours per day)” and ranges from 0 to 4000 in increments of 500 kilowatt-hours per day. The legend lists three series: “H V A C”, “Lighting”, and “Other uses”. H V A C shows the highest and most variable usage, typically around 1200 to 1800 kilowatt-hours per day with frequent spikes up to about 3000 to 3400, especially from January through March and again around November. Other uses remain mostly between about 700 and 1100 kilowatt-hours per day, with occasional peaks near 1500 to 1700. Lighting shows the lowest usage, generally around 200 to 500 kilowatt-hours per day with smaller fluctuations and a slight decrease toward the end of the year.
