An Electric Company
Directive
Design a system that tracks state funded modifications to low income homes that protect the homes against various weather conditions and improve energy efficiency of those homes.
Remarks
The system tracked parameters for the homes' energy efficiency before and after modification as well as tracking what modifications were made.
This system was implemented at 17 community action agencies throughout the state. The utility company had a special version of the system so that all of the agencies' information could be gathered, reported, and analyzed at a state level.
This was tricky because it was designed and developed at a time before WANs were economically feasible and well before the internet was available.
Results
Successful implementation throughout the 17 community action agencies and the utility company itself.
The utility company's executives were impressed that such detail could be accurately tracked and then integrated across the state. This assisted them with obtaining future state funding and allowing them to help more low income families.
