HEEP Status Update


We have implemented a raw form of the requested Google Chart visualizations embedded in JQuery Tabs. The problem with this is that the data is displayed in a form that is not quite readable or understandable by the user. Our next step is to take the Cooling Degree Day chart and the HEEP Report card and figure out a way to make them more usable. Brainstorming ways to achieve this over the next day hopefully will give us a good result.

Our current idea for the the Cooling Degree Day data is to display a settings tab, as part of the chart, that will allow the user to input his usage values to obtain a chart that provides a useful user-centric visualization of the request.

As far as the HEEP Report Card, currently we are going to design simply that, a report card. Letters /[A-F]/ will be distributed over months to indicate HEEP's success. In order to calculate this data is a different story, it is something that we need to work with HEEP on and discuss in detail. For now we'll focus on creating creative solutions.

By Thursday we hope to have, at the least, a mockup design of the charts we will be designing.
