standardization is a difficult, albeit necessary, practice. we're working with what we have so far, which is the raw energy data.
if you look at the website, though, the individual dorms have daily averages based on number of residents. for other variables (such as the kitchen in John Jay), we've used a constant determined over winter break to attempt to standardize the results.

Shouldn't these numbers be standardized based on the number of residents, efficiency of the building's appliances, etc.?
