Duke Energy Home Energy Report 2014

In Decenber, my home used 25% less energy than an "Efficient" Home according to Duke Energy.  Damn right!

So yesterday I got a fancy document in the mail from Duke Energy that was my "home energy report" for the year.  I had to share since it indicated that my home is "among the most efficient in your areas and is the envy of your neighbors".  Well, duh...yeah!  As it shows in the pic above for December 2014 alone, my house was 25% more efficient than Duke's "Efficient Home". 

My Energy Usage over the last year.  I'm the yellow line way below the "average" home (blue) and the "efficient" home (green)

They also included a nice graph of my energy usage over the year compared to an "average" home and an "efficient home".  My house is WAYYY below the average home (50-60% less?) and is well below the "efficient home" (25-40% less?).  Maybe Duke needs to revise their definition of an "efficient home"!
