Too bad ; because that would have helped you answering something a bit
more relevant to my questions

> Energy is measured in Joules.  1 kWh is just 3600000 Joules.

don't care ; I use the same units as the energy provider as that's
what they will bill me in
If I want to measure it in kWh, I think that's what I'm going to do :)

Please read my question , it would have gone a long way ...
Did it seem to you that I had any issues converting units ?

I was looking forward to an answer from you ; provided you're the
in-house expert with RRD ... But I surely wasn't expecting that ... :(

I pretty much want to calculate daily average of RPN calculations made
on 5 minutes intervals...
