problem
Solar panels gather sustainable energy
Varied power output
Difficult to predict
Have to sell / buy excess energy
The challenge:
Visualize the data in a way that’s understandable for residents
Give examples of how residents would use the visualization

4. Specification Non-intrusive, but easy to access – communal areas?
Emphasis on readability & simplicity
Non-intrusive, but easy to access – communal areas?
Data visualization:
Energy meter
Amount of uses per appliance (e.g. how much energy will using the washer use?)
Graphs
Timeline of energy generated

5. Ideas Screen in the communal area Energy meter (red, yellow, green)
Website
Detailed information
QR / NFC codes attached to appliances
Scan for power usage information
Screen in laundry room
Shows how many cycles are available

6. Technologies MySQL database Dynamically generated webpages
Stores meter readings gathered every few hours
Serves data to communal areas / website
