1 year ago Interesting analysis Max. One thing that initially surprised me was the relatively low variance in kWh compared to temperature during the warmer and hotter months. This must be from low a low demand in residential air conditions (A/C) units in France?
This would also be an interesting case study for the U.S. where A/C is very prevalent and is known to consume large amounts of energy.

Are Airbnb guests less energy efficient than their host? • Max Halford
TLDR I compared the energy consumption of Airbnb guests versus their host, in the same appartment, during 2022. It appears that guests do in fact consume more energy than hosts. The data I used is available to any Airbnb host. I also open-sourced all the code I wrote for this analysis. Introduction European energy prices have soared in 2022. It’s gone to the point where some Airbnb hosts have become reluctant to rent, believing their guests are too wasteful and cost too much.
