Though you may not think, there are many psychological implications when it comes to shutting down computers.
Wallpaper to be used on computers to notify them to shut down computers
Data collected from Cristian Cortes-aguirre which was published publicly, but double check with him for further use and for navigation of the drive
Jupyter notebook written in python code to analyze the data from the drive mentioned above. Use of this file is explicitly stated in the file
Notes about progress and meetings that happened throughout the quarter
The raw data collected for the Computer Lab Research deliverable
Collaborate with IT to see about changing the wallpaper to an energy saver reminder on all computers campus wide.
Collaborate with a small IT department on campus such as Geisel IT to run an experiment with automated shutdown of computers. If results prove successful, then propose other IT departments to adopt the change.
Work with Michelle Perez to implement changes to the Energy Dashboard. The survey has nowhere near enough responses and the response group is not diverse enough. Roll out survey to all users of the dashboard and analyze the feedback to propose changes for future iterations of the dashboard.
Michelle Perez and Keaton Chia are wonderful contacts that really want to help and share any information. Send them emails earlier than later so they can meet and help you achieve your goals.
