The applications for the HEEP website will be energy related. They are considering incorporating something similar to the stop light feature of the Ecotricity website that allows consumers to know what times during the day to conserve electricity. Consumers would be able to predict when peak hours are and avoid usage until lower demand times. They also mentioned possibly creating an application that dealt with oil prices.
So far, we have not been provided a clear description of what this project will consist of. Our team has scheduled a meeting with HEEP to discuss what they had in mind for their website. We hope this meeting will clear up some questions we have. During this meeting, we hope to find out more about their requirements, who we will be working with, and how the relationship between UH, HEEP, and the web development company that is building the HEEP website will work. We want to create applications that can be incorporated into the website without much dependency on other aspects of the website. This is to prevent our application from ending up on a critical path of the website's development.
During the next week, we hope to learn what kinds of applications HEEP would like built and how development will be handled. Once we know what is wanted, we can start assigning tasks to members and get our project going.
