other way to say this is that for most months the effect size (average kWh savings per household) is extremely small, and the number of observations is not large enough to detect it.[49](#page-57-0) The data quality rule used for use of th...
AI summary The analysis highlights challenges in evaluating energy savings from programs like ARet and SEM, noting extremely small effect sizes (average kWh savings per household) and data quality rules that undercount savings by assigning zero to most months. Yearly analysis using average daily savings appears to validate cumulative savings but relies on statistically insignificant daily savings. Large sample sizes can falsely inflate significance of trivial effects.
