Electricity

The results of the mean of differences for the pre-test and posHest period are
shown on the tables and graph on the following pages. November through
February were again the months evaluated. The table of electric consumption
shows an increase in electrical use for the months of November and December,
with a decrease in use for the months of January and February. The four
months represent a decrease of electrical consumption of .55%. The overall
savings was .85%.

SUMMARY DISCUSSION
As in any real life project, this project had many variables to consider. The number of
total participants was reduced from 100 to 85. The reduction was primarily due to
ownership changes or other situations which were not acceptable for evaluation. The
weather was an important variable to consider during analysis. November of 1991 was
the coldest November on record.
