This week, I completed the design of the model house, ensuring it is manufacturable and fulfills all the requirements of our project design, including a variety of loads and a solar panel energy input suitable for energy optimization analysis. I also made significant progress on the user dashboard web app, setting up the basic framework and integrating initial features for visualizing household energy consumption.
I am on schedule with the project timeline. Completing the model house and starting the user dashboard are tasks planned for upcoming weeks, but it is great to get a head start.
Next week, I plan to integrate real-time energy consumption data into the user dashboard. I also aim to enhance the dashboard’s UI to improve user interaction and clarity. Furthermore, I plan to determine additional materials for the model house such as acrylics for walling and small decorations or toys to simulate a real home with active appliances.
