He's confusing kilowatts with kilowatt hours? They mean very different things. kW is a rate (kilojoules/sec) of usage (power). kWh a stackable amount (in the sense that you can stack money) of energy and is what the electric company charges you for. A basic mistake like this makes me question the validity of the results.
I'm in the market for 3 new thermostats and was hoping this article would help me with my decision. Presently, I'm leaning toward an Ecobees (https://www.ecobee.com/ https://www.ecobee.com/) thermostat which has a lot more features than the Nest and even has an API. It seems to be the Android of the thermostat world where Nest is the iPhone. Features vs polish.
