Seasonal Normative Comparison

The Seasonal Normative Comparison module is a vertical bar graph that display's the customer's aggregate total energy use from the previous season compared to other homes. The comparison motivates them to reduce their heating or cooling energy use during the upcoming extreme weather season. The user experience varies depending on available customer data and whether the customer's program includes a Neighbor Comparison or Efficiency Zone.

The neighbor comparison in Digital Self Service - Energy Management mirrors the customer's report experience. For example, a customer that receives the Efficiency Zone in their report will also see an Efficiency Zone in Digital Self Service - Energy Management. For more information about the web version of the neighbor comparison, see Digital Self Service Energy Management Neighbor Comparison.
