2. 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

3. 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

4. Comments added Comments have been added for the “Filter Sheets” and “Export data” buttons

5. User Guide updated Added information on accessing the code onto the User Guide.
