Utility Data Web Page Design— An Introduction

Abstract

In order to make a conscious effort to conserve energy at large-
scale facilities it is necessary to track utility use on a daily basis. An
added benefit of utility tracking is that discovering and troubleshooting
equipment malfunctions becomes much easier. Utility data have unique
and complex characteristics. Collecting, analyzing, and publishing util-
ity data to a large number of people puts more eyes on the task of
managing utilities. Different people use the data in different ways. Inter-
net technologies allow us to publish utility data, in a meaningful way, to
all of those people simultaneously.
