Time of Day Module

The Time of Day module identifies the time of day in which the customer tends to use the most energy and expresses this as a percentage, so that the customer knows when to focus on being more energy-efficient. The usage value represents usage-to-date within the current bill period. The six-hour time period with the most usage is highlighted, while the other three time periods display in a faded color.

User Experience Variations

This section describes the user experience variations in the Time of Day module.

Multiple High-Use Periods (Tie State)

Customers can have a tie with regard to which time period uses the most energy. This module varies based on whether there are 1, 2, 3, or 4 periods with the same highest usage. The module highlights all periods that tie for the highest usage, and the insight statement varies as follows:

Two-way tie: Think about what's using <fuel type> in the <period1> and <period2>.
Three-way tie: Think about what's using <fuel type> in the <period1>, <period2>, and <period3>.
All periods use the same: You are using an equal amount of <fuel type> throughout the day.
