Welcome to Power Patterns an unstructured challenge!
This unstructured challenge involves clustering the time-series electricity load profiles of residential and commercial buildings. Your job will be to analyze the data, cluster the load profiles, and make demand response recommendations based on your findings. You are free to explore any and all methods you see fit to effectively solve this problem.
Good luck out there!
Hi. Is it possible to use any external data? Do we have any other information about the 1277 buildings? Like coordinates for example
Hi @clkrv1 and welcome to the Onward Challenges Community 
Yes, you are welcome to use external data for this challenge. We do not have any additional information about the 1,277 other buildings in the dataset. Although it would be interesting to see if you could infer some geography from the raw data.
Best of luck with your analysis, we are looking forward to seeing what you find.
