Patent ID: 8719186

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for itemizing water consumption, comprising: obtaining data indicating historical water consumption of a dwelling over a time period; determining a non-seasonal portion of the historical water consumption data by (a) computing an average water consumption based on one or more predetermined intervals within the time period, and (b) computing the non-seasonal portion by applying the average to the time period; subtracting the non-seasonal portion from the historical water consumption data to obtain a seasonal portion of the historical water consumption data; generating a water consumption profile for the dwelling indicating non-seasonal consumption and seasonal consumption; indicating the non-seasonal portion as attributable to indoor water consumption in the water consumption profile; computing at least one water consumption level corresponding to at least one indoor dwelling feature; indicating a level of confidence in the computed indoor dwelling feature consumption level by comparing a sum of the computed consumption level to the non-seasonal portion attributed to indoor water consumption; and presenting, via a display, the indoor dwelling feature and the corresponding consumption level in the water consumption profile to a user.
