How we build your demand profile

The curves and data in your downloaded file are generated from publicly available information and standard engineering assumptions about residential electricity use. Key references include:

Typical residential load shapes based on U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) Residential Energy Consumption Survey .
Climate and degree-day concepts similar to those used by National Weather Service / NOAA for heating and cooling demand.
Interval data formatting inspired by the Green Button standard for exporting customer usage data ( U.S. Department of Energy Green Button ).
EV charging patterns and work‑from‑home impacts derived from published utility and industry studies of residential load profiles.

This tool uses representative patterns, not utility‑grade billing data. For exact historical usage, download Green Button or interval data from your electric utility if available.
