Energy Competitions Harvard Green Cup was started 35 years ago
Static websites with daily/weekly results
Oberlin College/Lucid Design Group Building Dashboard
Over 170 schools signed up for the campus conservation nationals 2012

Downsides to Lucid’s Software Costs money to set up
We want additional modules• Activities/Events• Raffle• Ability to log in using UH credentials
We want quick iteration and deployment

ReactionsIssues:• What do the graphs mean?• Is the energy data “actionable”? How can a user influence their standing?• What should a user do after they log in?
Challenge: Presenting information to users who are unfamiliar with the domain
User evaluations?
