Methods and systems for analyzing gross resource consumption data to determine resource consumption of individual devices are disclosed. In some embodiments, the methods and methods include the following: obtaining a first data that includes a time series of a gross resource consumption for a location; using blind signal separation techniques, identifying power-on and power-off events within the first data, the events being caused by turning particular devices at the location on and off during the time series and each of the events reflecting a power consumption signature for each of the particular devices; associating each of the events with a known device, the known device being substantially similar to one of the particular devices at the location; and determining a portion of the gross resource consumption consumed by each of the particular devices.
