Talk with building management
Introduction
We interviewed building management so we can clarify what they expect from the project and what they think of the state the project is in right now and if there need to be some adjustments. We also asked them some questions about the website and the node itself and the website. We primaly wanted clarity on what they thought on the website design because they are the ones that are going to use it the most.
Questions for building management
- Design of page? (current page, new design or own idea)
- What do they expect of a page made for building management?
- Do they think they can work with the incomming feedback from the enquete?
- Design of the node? (plastic or wood)
Answers
- The current page is a bit too techincal and a bit unorganized. you couldnt tell that there is a new node added to the page. They also said that we needed to point out that there is another node connected for example start with half the ui of that specific node at the bottom of the screen.
- They expect a page that is easy to use and dummy proof.
- They think they can work with the incomming feedback from the enquete. And they thought it was a good idea to measure things that sensors cant measure for example peoples opinions.
- plastic is better because it is easier to clean and it is more durable. It also looks nicer on the wall, it blends in better.
Feedback:
Building management had some good feedback points about the page itself, about the idea and some good pointers for the execution. They would also look into making the data they are already measuring accessible for us so we can compare it to our own sensors. The things they had to say about the website are: they found the first design a bit unorganized and said that they would rather see the second design we had in figma where you can select the node you want to see, maybe also a search function to specify the node that is displayed. What also was said was to try to make it idiot-proof because not all of the building management people are very technical. They had some things to say about the node design, like maybe make the color white to make it better with blending into the white walls of the total area. They also asked the question of does it matter at what height the node is placed. One other thing they said was to write something onto the node to make it clear to the people in the area what it was doing, something like ReaderNode™. And the last thing they said was if we thought about how to make sure it doesnt get vandalized.
Conclusion
Building management thought it was a good and interesting project. They wanna actively help us with the data they are already measuring and they had some good feedback points about the website and the node itself. They also had some good questions about the node itself that we need to look into. For example how are we are going to make sure it doesnt get vandalized. Furthermore they had good feedback on the website and they preffered our figma design over our current design and we needed to make the website dummy proof so everyone can use it even without technical knowledge.
