I actually built this quite awhile ago, but hadn’t blogged about it yet…

With the help of many folks, we can measure the power usage of each community in Ackerman Hall (the new green residence hall), and graph them against each other.
We are pulling data every hour, with incremental usage totals. This will give us a myriad of opportunities to slice-n-dice the data and make all kinds of charts and graphs.
Next week I’ll be meeting with Patrick Moser from Housing, to discuss their needs/wants and some of our creative ideas to maximize this data and these graphs.
