how energy data will show up in the app on summary / utilities detail screen

visual comps for the screen, and then a handoff to Jeremia for html.

include a script with the EPB phone number that people could call

Hey @giselleS do you have a design for us to build into a template?

@jeremiak did you want more of a script for the EPB convo or do you think this is adequate?

jeremiak commented 10 years ago

Looks adequate to me. I'll go ahead and get this view into the app

Transferring ownership of this card to me

Moving this back into ready and tackling the UGC stuff before we spend more time on the energy side without the results of @jden's work on the API side

after playing with the api a bit for https://github.com/codeforamerica/bestnest-api/issues/56, the primary data we get out of it are annual total cost and annual total kWh. while it does offer the level of breakdown shown in this image, we're leaving all the parameters for lighting, appliances, etc at their default values - they should remain roughly the same across all houses, so i'm not sure how useful it will be to show. just a consideration.

as for monthly cost, it's probably not the case that actual monthly cost will just be the avergage, eg annual cost / 12 (due to seasonal variation and heating/cooling accounting for a large part of energy cost). any ideas here? i think i remember seeing some sort of regional-level data for bill fluctuations during the year- maybe we can fit the annual data to that kind of curve?

Make energy request when summary page is first loaded since it takes so long to load
