Research Type Experimental This paper reports on analysis of aggregate household electricity consumption (EC) data from local utilities in Los Angeles, seeking possible improvements in energy management.In this paper we describe analysis of about 5000 block group totals a summary of EC in census-defined neighborhoods that suggests ways to scale analysis for all of the data.We analyzed data from the UCLA Energy Atlas (Pincetl 2015) (www.energyatlas.ucla.edu) at the California Center for Sustainable Communities (CCSC), in cooperation with LADWP, containing 2006-2011 monthly electricity consumption histories for Los Angeles County.
