Home report - top users in area

[Pelling]

"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

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?

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

[Pelling]

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.
