If I go on vacation and set my Nest to eco mode, am I saving money? Sure, certainly I may be saving $5 a day in home utilities cost on my $300/day vacation. But that is not to say that said vacation is actually saving me money.
It would be accurate to say that vacation may be costing me $295 net instead of $300 face value. But just reporting the savings would be misleading.
