Data display

Originally I was going to have 4 pages which display data.  The first which shows you your percentage of water, electricity and gas usage, the second where you can build your house and see where you're using the most power,  the third showing a graph of how your usage has changed over time and the fourth, comparing you to your neighborhood.

Before creating the 4 pages I asked some users what they thought about these four pages.  The majority of responses I got were that:
- They liked how it showed you your energy usage in different categories, but that there should be more catergories than just water, gas and electricity.  They would be interested in seeing how cooking, water heating and space heating compared.
-  They thought that having the three completely different ways of displaying information wasn't consistent and was a bit too much information.
-  They liked the fact that you could drag and drop puzzle pieces to build your own house.  This added an element of interaction.
-  They liked how you could compare yourself to your neighbours to see how you were doing.

I took this into account and decided to keep the first page where you could see how your household energy usage was split up into categories.  I used the categories of water heating, space heating, cooking, refrigeration, electricity and other.  I decided to make it clearer that all these added up to show your whole households usage by making the pieces build up to make the shape of a house.  I really liked the look of this information therefore I decided to take out the "build your house" and other graph pages.

Having one page with the above information wasn't enough though.  I wanted to show the households monthly usage, weekly usage and daily usage.  Therefore I decided to make lots of layers.  You can click on the house to go deeper into the layers.  It will start with showing you your monthly usage and will break down into daily usage with each click.

With the "compare" page I kept the same idea but wanted to put the puzzle pieces of the neighbourhood inside a circle to represent the earth, as if it's comparing you to the world.
