Abstract
A method for correlating energy usage data and water usage data to a waste scoring system is described. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving energy usage data and water usage data from a plurality of users, identifying at least one user group from the plurality of users based on predetermined parameters, and calculating average energy usage and average water usage for each of the user groups. The energy usage data and water usage data received for an individual user may then be compared to the calculated average energy usage and calculated average water usage for at least one of the user groups, and a general waste score may be calculated for the individual user. In some cases, a plurality of sub-waste scores may be calculated indicating factors of energy usage and factors of water usage for the individual user.
