How to purchase Building Dashboard®
Step 1: Choose a data integration method
Building Dashboard is designed to be universally compatible with all building automation and energy management systems, including: Alerton, Automated Logic, Cisco, Honeywell, Johnson Controls, Siemens, Square D/Schneider Electric, Trane, Tridium and more. In buildings without monitoring equipment, Lucid's out-of-the-box data logger and metering package is recommended.
| Option A: Building Automation System (BAS) |
Option B: Existing meters + Lucid's data logger |
Option C: Lucid's meter package + data logger |
|---|---|---|
 |
 |
 |
| Your building or campus-wide BAS or energy management system serves data to Lucid's off-site servers | Your utility meters and sub-meters report data readings to Lucid's off-site servers using Lucid's own data logger | If no metering infrastructure exists, then Lucid's recommended metering package and data logger must be installed |
| Lucid works with you to configure your BAS to securely and automatically push data to the Dashboard | Lucid ships you a plug-and-play, Internet-enabled data logger to connect with your existing meters | Lucid ships you all metering and data logger hardware |
| Facilities professional required for configuration | Electrician or qualified professional required for installation | Electrician or qualified professional required for installation |
Lucid's data logger begins working as soon as you plug it into your meters and the Internet. For all options above, new buildings and resources can be added to your Dashboard rapidly and cost effectively through additional BAS integrations and data logger expansion.
Step 2: Choose your display add-ons
Building Dashboard Network is a website accessible from any Internet browser and many web-enabled devices. The Network is included in every Dashboard purchase, and additional Apps and Widgets are also available.

Step 3: Contact a Lucid sales representative
Lucid's sales staff are here to answer all your questions about Building Dashboard Network and Building Dashboard Kiosk. If you don't know which integration methods and display add-ons are best for your organization, we are happy to give you detailed recommendations. The more information you have about your building or campus, the better we can assist you:
If your building is still in design or construction, what is the estimated completion date of the project? If you have an existing building, when do you aim to have Building Dashboard up and running?
If applicable, what type of building automation system (BAS) is installed in your building or deployed across your campus? Are all of your meters tied into the system?
How many buildings do you wish to monitor, and specifically what resources (for example: electricity, water, natural gas, solar PV)? If applicable, what per-floor or per-load sub-metering exists within each building?
What Apps and Widgets are you interested in seeing on your Dashboard? Do you wish to include one or more touchscreens in your building or across your campus?
