Neighbor Comparison

The Neighbor Comparison is designed to motivate customers to save energy based on how they see themselves in relation to their neighbors. It compares the customer (“You”) to two groups: “Efficient Neighbors” and “Average Neighbors.” The results are displayed in a horizontal bar graph. An insight statement on the right indicates whether the customer falls in one of three states: "Great,” "Good,” or “Using more than average." A brief message indicates how the customer compares to their efficient neighbors. "Efficient Neighbors" are defined as the most efficient 20% of the customer's neighbors. An informational section below the bar graph provides details about the module information.
