Neighbor Trend

The Neighbor Trend compares the customer (“You”) to two groups: “Efficient Neighbors” and “Average Neighbors.” The module displays data from up to a maximum of six historical bills on a line graph, with one line each for “You,” “Efficient Neighbors,” and “Average Neighbors.” An evaluative statement compares the customer to one of the other neighbor groups for the period displayed in the chart. If the customer does not have any cost data for the period covered by the module, the normative message focuses on differences in usage instead of cost.
