         1) a first entry comprising a start time for the resource consumption event and a positive resource consumption amount and

         2) a second entry comprising an end time for the resource consumption event and a negative resource consumption amount with the same magnitude as the positive resource consumption amount;

    receiving a query related to the resource;
