The Building Dashboard

With U.S. buildings consuming 2/3 of electricity generation and contributing up to 36% of greenhouse gases, its easy to see importance of conservation and sustainable behavior. Connecting building occupants to their energy use can be challenging, but a hands-on, high-tech solution has yielded consumption reductions of 10-56%. The Building Dashboard is a "web-based display technology that provides real-time feedback on resource use and helps us to improve the environmental performance of buildings." The Building Dashboard allows you to visualize consumption real time and over extended periods. It also converts consumption of electricity and water into more tangible measurements like dollars, pounds of CO2 , trees, and other equivalents.

A Building Dashboard will be installed in Storey House this year.
