PowerSight was designed for PG&E Energy Services to allow commercial customers to track energy usage and manage billing. Given this audience base, it was designed as a java application.

I worked with Drue Miller who was the primary information/interaction designer while I worked primarily on the branding and visual design. As usual, we collaborated on most of the design.

The new logo refers to the parent PG&E logo in its color and shape while introducing a new product with new attributes.

The biggest feature of the application was the ability to create custom graphs of energy usage. These graphs could be saved as templates to track the same dataset over time. Clicking on the bottom "Change Data and Display" allowed users to manipulate the graph as seen in the next image.

This last image shows the toolbar used to manipulate the graphs and reports. Its written in natural language to help the user think about the different variables.
