The presented graph shows data on various household activities and appliances that require electric energy in an average American household throughout a day. Electricity usage concerns entertainment, cold devices, kitchen chores, heating, and lighting, and is measured in watts.
As an overall trend, a typical American seems to consume electricity mostly after 8 a.m., a pattern that steadily increases and reaches a peak around 6 p.m. Specifically, during that time of the day, total usage reaches almost 800 watts, with kitchen activities taking the lead with approximately 200 watts of electricity. on the contrary, it can be seen that cold devices are being used the least throughout the day, with 50 watts of consumption without the smallest fluctuation or change being noticed in the span of 24 hours.
Furthermore, the illustration reveals that heating, lighting, and entertainment are substantial parts of a household in the USA for the biggest part of the day. Starting with lighting, over 150 watts are consumed after midnight, data that shows a gradual decrease until the early hours of the morning. Lastly, entertainment peaks late at night with over 150 watts of usage, but is less significant after midnight compared to heating and lighting.
In summary, Americans consume electricity most after the evening and during the night, but even though there is a steady pattern observed in the usage for some activities, noticeable oscillations characterise other parts of energy consumption
