Data on electricity consumption (KWH) and mean temperature (degrees F) for one
building on the University of Minnesota's Twin Cities campus.
for 39 months in 1988-92. The goal is to model consumption
as a function of temperature. Higher temperature causes the use of air
conditioning, so high temperatures should mean high consumption.
This building is steam heated, so electricity is not used for heating.
