Other Campus Initiatives

The Berkeley Building Dashboard provides users with historical and real-time performance metrics for UC Berkeley campus buildings. The system consists of two main types of information: (1) monthly representations of energy, water, and other metrics, and (2) real-time displays of data from buildings for which network accessible data is available.



Residential energy challenges have been executed at several universities as well. At NYU a competition throughout the month of April '08 will attempt to get students to reduce their electricity consumption in the NYU residence halls. The visualization will be largely online, where students will be able to track their dorm's real-time energy consumption against past years and each other. Similar competitions were held at The University Of Colorado and Oberlin College. Both of which dramatically decreased daily loads for the buildings overall.
