Design Review Had design review on Monday – got positive feedback along with some good ideas to implement on demo day Consider ways to include budgeting (i.e. if someone has only $10,000 what is the best way to use energy efficient measures) May want to do a poster board dedicated to this Three different budgets along with corresponding measures, how they best effect efficiency, how much money they cost and how much money they save

Split Programs & Flow Charts Split Programs are finished and ready to be sent to UI Began researching the best ways to implement the flow charts on the dashboard for demo day Show/Hide Image seems to be the best way to go All pictures will be imbedded in and set to hide, once selecting a button it will re-hide any showing images (in case a button was pressed prior) and then un-hide the image linked to that button
