Job Description:

 At the core of the project is an online visualization of energy and carbon savings through geothermal and solar home retrofits and through recruiting others.  Also including the economic and environmental benefits of a monitored system - starting with a high-level view (perhaps a map) and drilling down to individual customer stories (either data-based or anecdotal).  We have some examples to use as starting points, but the cross-functional innovation team will have an opportunity to propose just about anything.  Besides a web-based display, though, it is important that this visualization can be shared via Facebook.  By recruiting and connecting with other customers both online and offline, individuals can grow their own credentials for environmental impact.
