What is Joule?

Joule is a web app that fetches, combines / separates and processes the captured energy data, and then displays the data to the user, within a web browser. It carries out all data processing in-browser which negates the need for specific server software to be installed, and only relies on a standard web server able to serve up the static files needed for the app, and the data JSON files. It is just an example of what can be done with energy data and should hopefully open the way to other visualisation tools.

A working example shows the energy consumption of the William Gates Building, home to Cambridge University Computer Laboratory.

How does Joule work?

See How the script works for a detailed documentation of the app.

How do I use Joule?

See How to use Joule for a minimal user guide and Configuration files for instructions on how to create the right configuration for use with Joule.

Can I create an alternative visualisation tool?

Yes! You can use the information available at Data files to create your own visualisation tool. Have a look at this little demo created using the Google Charts API.
