Abstract
Dashboards are omnipresent in energy management environments to visualise energy data, aiding non-domestic energy demand reduction. Through the design and live deployment of ContextViz in an campus energy management setting, our demo presents our investigation of how the analysis and visualisation of energy data can be made more insightful for energy stakeholders (e.g., facilitates managers) and support organisational decision making for carbon reduction. Our research highlights two primary reasons for the current limitations in the effectiveness of energy demand dashboards: 1) broken data pipelines; and, 2) and a lack context and system knowledge being made visible at the point of decision making. Supplementing our live demo, we share our insights from user studies and experiences of including stakeholders in the design process.
