Some claim there is not much potential in residential demand response. Here is my personal rejoinder in chart form. I'm on a TOU plan with a peak rate nearly 4x offpeak and also enrolled in a demand response program though my utility. (Some details on chart in 🧵). #energytwitter 
I was looking at data to see (a) how well my effort to program my smart thermostat worked, and (b) see the effect of utility's DR call on July 11 compared to my own efforts. On (a) the red line shows real savings during the peak, but (b) the blue line shows I could do better.
The smart thermostat interface makes it difficult because it tries to make it easy. It wants to build the program around preferred temperatures for waking, while away during the day, upon return home, and when sleeping. @Honeywell_Home

No one likes talking about their losses. It makes us uncomfortable. We like to inflate our gains & deflate our losses. Hide them. Mention them in passing only. Hope no one notices them.
You’re going to enjoy this. Please share so others can learn from my mistakes 🙂

2/n The more winners we can display up front the less losers become apparent at the back. Charlie Munger has said “I like people admitting they were complete horses’ asses. I know I’ll perform better if I rub my nose in my mistakes. This is a wonderful trick to learn.”
3/n Therefore, I wanted to revisit some of my key losers so I can share my experience, thoughts and biases out in the open. I have mentioned them before but not as one thread and in such detail. I’ll try and make the lessons clear and from some of my notes. This will be brutal.
