BACKGROUND
The California State University – Los Angeles Energy
Consumption project was started by the need for an online
interface that would display the campus’ current and historical
energy usage. The interface would allow the user to tap into the
energy consumption database for the CSULA campus and view
the exact energy usage for any particular building for a given day,
week, month, or year (data collection started in 2006). This
information can then be used to evaluate the campus’ energy
consumption, and make informed decisions on where to cut
energy usage and save money for the university.
OBJECTIVES
Create a website that provides energy consumption
information for all buildings on campus that has an energy
meter. Only one page is accessible to the public, and pages that
show energy consumption data for the individual buildings on
campus require log-in status. Those that have login privileges
can view energy data showing more specific information such as
daily, weekly, monthly and yearly energy consumption. A page
also links from the energy website to Johnson Controls and
LADWP. The data that the website uses will come from the
download of energy readings taken every five minutes from
digital or analog readers placed at various buildings around
campus (not all buildings have a reader). From there the
website will update its data from last login and refresh every five
minutes thereof.
DELIVERABLES
The Energy Consumption website so far consists of seven
web pages. The site is built using Visual Studio C#, powered by
Silver Light. The database backend is built on the Microsoft
SQL server platform. The first page, which is considered the
public page, shows the total energy consumption for the
campus buildings. From there you link to the login page to view
more content not available to the public. The login page links to
the homepage that shows the location of the energy meters.
The second page is where the overall energy consumption can
be found for each of the buildings, the third page is used to
query different dates for each building.
