  6. Technologies • MySQL database • Stores meter readings gathered every few hours • Serves data to communal areas / website • Dynamically generated webpages • Devices access the website to view graphs / information • Anything that uses a browser can access (e.g. mobiles) • PHP, Bootstrap, jQuery, HTML • Possibly: QR tags / NFC, scanners, screens
