"In April, you are in the top 30% of users in your area"
Can someone explain what this means? Is it relating to hours of energy used?
Thanks

My understanding is that you are in the top and doing better than 70% of users in your area. Good!

Hi Pelling,
The report categorizes the amount of Leafs you earned and uses your area Nest users averages. So you'll get a Leaf when you choose an energy-efficient temperature.
If you need any more info on the Leaf feature see this page: Learn about the Nest Leaf - Google Nest Help
Hope that helps!

Thank you Jill.
I understand about the leafs awarded. I just don't understand the middle panel.
If I am in the top 30 percent of users in my area, am I doing better than the other 70 percent, or not so good?

I'd just like to add that I had the exact same question. It's not very clear. If I'm in the top x% in my area, does that mean I'm using the MOST energy on cooling/heating in my area?? That's what it would seem to be. It's worsened by the fact that the middle panel is grey (i.e. bad) whereas the ones next to it are green (i.e. good in this context).
So just to confirm, this means that I'm in the top 25% of area Nest users in terms of efficiency?? As in I'm using less energy than 75% of my neighbors?

Exactly my query. It is not clear as you have pointed out, as it is in grey.
I think

I think your message was cut off.
Doesn't look like we'll get any more clarity from Nest support staff unfortunately.

Hey all,
Sorry for any confusion and the late reply. If you are seeing the leaf on your Nest Thermostat, that means you are saving energy. The pictures you have sent mean you are in the top 25% of nest users in your area saving energy. Please let me know if that helps, or if you have any other questions from here.
Best regards,
Jake

I think that answered our question. It seems like it means you are in the top 25% of energy savings not energy use.

It'd be great if they could change the way that report reads. It is quite challenging to decipher what is being communicated. Am I using more or less than my neighbors, the grammar in the report is ambiguous.

Hi Jake,
I guess the only question is when is this phrasing going to change so it actually makes sense.

I totally agree. This is confusing. It really wouldn’t take much to iron out the confusion.
“You’re in the top 20% for thermostat efficiency”
