Energy Dashboard

The Energy Dashboard is a comprehensive data visualization project designed to provide users with insights into energy consumption, costs, and efficiency in real time. Developed to cater to individuals and businesses managing multiple meters, the dashboard centralizes key metrics for effective energy management.

Energy Management Problem For businesses and individuals managing energy consumption across multiple meters, the following challenges emerged:

Lack of real-time visibility into energy usage and power consumption, leading to inefficiencies.

Difficulty understanding cost fluctuations and identifying trends over time.

No centralized system to track and compare energy usage across different appliances or meter numbers.

Inability to generate actionable reports for energy-saving strategies.

These issues resulted in high energy costs and poor consumption management, creating a need for a solution that combines real-time insights with cost-effective decision-making tools.

To address these challenges, the Energy Dashboard was developed with the following key components:

KPI Metrics (% Change in Cost, Daily Consumption): Highlight trends and performance at a glance.

Weekly Cost Analysis: Break down costs over time to identify patterns and budget effectively.

Real-Time Usage and Power Consumption: Provide live updates to enable immediate adjustments, preventing unnecessary wastage.

Interactive Left Panel Navigation: Simplify access to critical tabs, including the dashboard overview, appliance-specific insights, cost breakdowns, and customizable filters for meter numbers.

The dashboard was designed to be intuitive and flexible, enabling users to filter data by specific parameters and create tailored reports for actionable insights.

Impact on Energy Management The Energy Dashboard delivered measurable improvements:

Enhanced energy efficiency through real-time monitoring, reducing unnecessary consumption.

Clear visibility into cost changes and weekly trends, allowing users to track progress and optimize budgets.

Streamlined comparison across appliances and meters, pinpointing areas of inefficiency.

Customizable filtering and reporting provided actionable insights, empowering users to implement energy-saving strategies effectively.

As a result, users reported a significant reduction in energy costs and improved decision-making, fostering both financial and environmental sustainability.
