This article discusses how daily and hourly electricity consumption data along with interior temperature measurements can be used to diagnose problems in small commercial buildings. The authors chose daily and hourly data in anticipation of future developments in the energy auditing process, including an increased use of instrumented site visits that take advantage of recent advances in microcomputer technology, advanced modeling techniques and improved graphics that will allow for complex problems to be more easily identified. Investigation focuses on three stores in a New Jersey shopping center. They attempted to discover what problems were occurring in each of the stores and then link those problems to daily and hourly indicators that could have led the analyst to those problems during the site visit.
