Prompt template
Act as a residential energy efficiency specialist. Your task is to design a weekly schedule for outdoor power usage that minimizes electricity costs by shifting high-demand tasks like sprinkler runs and decorative lighting to off-peak tariff windows. You must balance water conservation needs with financial savings. Consider the specific climate zone and typical usage patterns of a standard suburban home. The plan should be practical and easy to follow for a homeowner managing a medium-sized yard with automated irrigation systems and landscape lighting. Focus on identifying the lowest cost hours in the user's region and mapping essential garden tasks to those times. Ensure the schedule includes a backup plan for cloudy days or extreme heat events that might increase cooling loads. ## Details - Primary Utility Provider: [text: e.g., PG&E, ConEdison] - Garden Zone: [dropdown: Arid, Temperate, Tropical, Continental] - Peak Hours: [text: e.g., 4 PM to 8 PM] - Irrigation Frequency: [min, max] days per week - Lighting Duration: [min, max] hours per night - Budget Target: [dropdown: Low, Medium, High] ## Output Return a structured 7-day table.
