My main goal for this project was to figure out how much extra fuel I was burning in the evenings when I turned my heat up to 70 degrees from 60. I wanted to do this project because my landlord charges me a base rate for rent, and I was curious if my habit of keeping my house tropical was making him dip into is emergency savings.
After collecting the data in excel, I crunched the numbers and displayed the results in a powerpoint document which I then presented in a YouTube video.
Bottom line, I've concluded that my landlord is paying roughly $244.13 per month, instead of $228.75 per month if I were to keep it at a constant 60. This is a 6.3% cost increase per month.
Evaluation of my Youtube presentation:
Pros:
- seemed to know what I was talking about
- fairly good body control
- good eye contact with the camera
- explanations where mostly clear
- rebounded well after being distracted
- was able to complete lengthy presentation within 10 minute time limit
Cons:
- said umm too many times.
- lost my train of thought when someone came to the door
- recording was too quiet
