Steps to reproduce

The data was gotten from smart meters installed in each school to collect electricity usage data at the whole-building level. The meters were configured to record data in real-time and transmitted securely to a central database via GreenX Engineering's web portal. Electricity usage was captured at 30-minute intervals. The data was cleaned and enhanced with Python (pandas library).
