Dashboard Background
About the Campus Building Energy Dashboard
One of the critical goals outlined in the 2005 Campus Sustainability Assessment is to provide energy usage feedback and education, and to publicize energy consumption data in readily available venues. The Building Energy Dashboard provides building performance data in an accessible and effective form via the Internet, and has the ability to compare energy usage across time periods and buildings.
The Building Energy Dashboard can inform the campus community about the buildings they inhabit, educating users about energy efficiency on a personal and effective scale. The GBRC hopes that providing access to real-time data may inspire buildings, departments, and dormitories to set goals and/or establish competitions to reduce energy usage.
