The world energy consumption dashboard can be found here
Welcome to our world energy consumption dashboard. Energy use and consumption are related to health and the environment. Excessive energy consumption will cause air pollution, climate change, destruction of ecosystems, and human health damage. In response to this challenge, we propose building a data visualization dashboard that allows world leaders and the public to visually discover a world energy dataset. We appeal to decision makers and the public to reduce energy consumption and to invest in alternative renewable energy sources.
The main feature of this app is an interactive world map, which will display energy consumption per category for each country. The map will change is primary colour based on the currently selected energy type, and each country's brightness/opacity will change depending on that energy type's percentage of total. The slider underneath the main map will be able to move through each year, with the main map updating colours at each step. To the right of the main map will be a bar chart which shows the top 10 consumers of the currently selected energy type and year. Beneath the main map will be a secondary line chart, which gives a full history of energy consumption over time, with the currently selected country from the main map. The main map will also have interactive hover labels, which show certain stats per country. All main values on the chart will also have the ability to be toggled by absolute value, or per-capita.
