31. Sounds odd.

I'll tell you that I've examined energy consumption time series data for many thousands of homes and businesses in jurisdictions across North America. To do the sort of analysis I sometimes do, I need to identify outliers, where something doesn't make sense for, say, a single family residence, or the expected relationship of temperature to energy consumption, etc. I've personally explored many of these cases, and there was always a clear reason for the consumption pattern based on occupancy, or something changing about actual consumption. There are some kooks out there who really think this is some Orwellian thing - I think it's a bit nuts.
