A continued increased consumption compared to previous periods, led to an alert for a site operated by a retail estate asset manager. It turned out that the electrical heating of the "ramp floor" in the building's parking garage that goes to the roof parking had been running even during the warmer months.

The original purpose was to ensure ice/snow would melt, so cars would not skid on the concrete floor, however, the automation that controls this stopped working or was deactivated. 

Essentially, the garage’s outdoor concrete floor was heated with electricity at 7 kW – 24 hours a day.
