Office Energy Use Pie Chart
This pie chart breaks down one office's August electricity use by building system. Cooling is the largest share, which is expected in a warm month, while computers and lighting show the office's regular operating demand. The smaller kitchen and other-equipment segments keep the total complete. Use this view to choose energy-review priorities, then compare multiple months with a line chart to see seasonal change.

CASE ANALYSIS
Scenario
A facilities manager identifies the largest electricity uses in a small office during August.

- Efficiency focus: Lighting and kitchen loads can be reviewed separately.
When to reuse this
Use for one meter period when the categories add to total electricity use.
