+# Real-Time Energy Monitoring Dashboard
 
-This template should help get you started developing with Vue 3 in Vite.
+A comprehensive full-stack application for monitoring and managing energy consumption and air quality in smart buildings. The system provides real-time data visualization, room-based analytics, and intelligent recommendations for building management.
 
-## Recommended IDE Setup
+## 📋 Project Overview
 
-[VSCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/) + [Volar](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Vue.volar) (and disable Vetur).
+This application enables facility managers and building operators to:
 
-## Type Support for `.vue` Imports in TS
+- **Monitor real-time energy consumption** across multiple sensors and rooms
+- **Track air quality (CO2 levels)** with automated status classification
+- **Estimate occupancy** based on environmental data patterns
+- **Receive intelligent recommendations** for HVAC optimization and ventilation
+- **Visualize building-wide metrics** through interactive charts and dashboards
+- **Access room-by-room analytics** for targeted energy management
 
-TypeScript cannot handle type information for `.vue` imports by default, so we replace the `tsc` CLI with `vue-tsc` for type checking. In editors, we need [Volar](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Vue.volar) to make the TypeScript language service aware of `.vue` types.
+## 🏗️ Architecture
 
-## Customize configuration
+### Frontend (Vue.js 3 + TypeScript)
+- **Reactive dashboard** with real-time chart updates
+- **Multi-sensor support** with room-based grouping
+- **Responsive design** optimized for desktop and mobile
+- **State management** via Pinia for efficient data handling
 
-See [Vite Configuration Reference](https://vite.dev/config/).
+## 🚀 Installation & Setup
 
-## Project Setup
+### Prerequisites
 
-```sh
+- **Redis Server**: Must be running on `localhost:6379`
+- **Python 3.9+**: Backend runtime
+- **Node.js 20.19.0+ or 22.12.0+**: Frontend development
+
+The backend should be available at `http://localhost:8000`
+
+### Frontend Setup
+
+```bash
+cd dashboard/frontend
+
+# Install dependencies
 npm install
-```
 
-### Compile and Hot-Reload for Development
-
-```sh
+# Start development server
 npm run dev
+
+# Additional commands
+npm run build        # Production build
+npm run type-check   # TypeScript validation
+npm run test:unit    # Run unit tests
+npm run lint         # ESLint with auto-fix
+npm run format       # Prettier formatting
 ```
 
-### Type-Check, Compile and Minify for Production
+The frontend will be available at `http://localhost:5173`
 
-```sh
-npm run build
+## ✨ Features
+
+### 📊 Real-Time Dashboard
+- **Live energy consumption charts** with automatic updates
+- **WebSocket-powered data streaming** for zero-latency updates

+
+## 📊 Data Formats
+
+### Legacy Format (Energy Only)
+```json
+{
+  "sensorId": "sensor_1",
+  "timestamp": 1672531200,
+  "value": 2.34,
+  "unit": "kWh"
+}
 ```
 
-### Run Unit Tests with [Vitest](https://vitest.dev/)
-
-```sh
-npm run test:unit
+### Enhanced Format (Multi-Metric)
+```json
+{
+  "sensorId": "sensor_1",
+  "room": "Conference Room A",
+  "timestamp": 1672531200,
+  "energy": {
+    "value": 2.34,
+    "unit": "kWh"
+  },
+  "co2": {
+    "value": 450,
+    "unit": "ppm"
+  },
+  "temperature": {
+    "value": 22.5,
+    "unit": "°C"
+  }
+}
 ```
