While electricity meters across campus collect detailed information about energy usage, the information was not easily accessible until group of Computer Science students changed that with their senior capstone project.<\/p>\n<p>The team developed the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/energydashboard.sou.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SOU Energy Dashboard<\/a>, a custom interactive web application created for SOU\u2019s Sustainability Office.
