Inspiration

We want to show people the energy and water usage of the buildings that they're in.

What it does

It locates your building using GPS coordinates and fetches information from OSISoft's UC Davis databases about the energy/water usage.

How we built it

We used Java and Android Studio to design an interface and hook it up to OSISoft's JSON-formatted database.

Challenges we ran into

It's pretty difficult to estimate which building you're in correctly without hard-coding a bunch of coordinates and radii.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Our app fetches the GPS and estimates which building you're in correctly most of the time!

What we learned

How to use volley and android's JSON datatypes to fetch JSON-formatted information. We learned how to write Java code that makes use of the android API.

What's next for BuildingStats

We're gonna make it work for more on campus buildings.
