Building Dashboard® For Companies
Lucid's Building Dashboard® interactive websites and touchscreen displays for companies and organizations are designed to make resource use in buildings -- corporate headquarters, office complexes, community centers, museums, retail and mixed-use spaces -- visible, engaging and easily understood by employees, clientele and visitors.
Today's leading businesses recognize the need to foster a culture of environmental stewardship in which employees can take part in advancing the larger mission of sustainability. Making a company's carbon footprint transparent, for example, enables all members of an organization to understand the consequences of personal and collective consumption, while comparing consumption across floors or different buildings creates attitude-changing social incentives for consuming less. By delivering real-time resource use feedback and providing a forum in which friendly competition is encouraged, conservation techniques are shared and corporate sustainability initiatives are showcased, employees can be motivated and inspired to act on sustainability objectives within their business community.
Benefits of Building Dashboard® For Companies
Make buildings teaching tools
Building Dashboard® makes energy and water use in offices, corporate headquarters, museums, visitors centers and retail spaces visible and teachable. A touch-screen kiosk or website showcasing your building's performance or green features provides a stunning centerpiece for engaging and educating building occupants, visitors and consumers, and for realizing monetary and resource savings through feedback.
Launch office-wide energy competitions
Rival your fellow employees to reduce energy consumption in competing departments or headquarters. Building managers, supervisors and employees can instantly compare a building's performance to competing floors and other buildings, and track individual peformance -- all in real time. Easily accessible feedback on resource use increases both awareness and motivation to act in ways that can change people's behavior.
Engage the employee base to save resources
Building Dashboard® works to complement the installation of energy- and water-efficient technologies and facilities-level management efforts to reduce operating costs. Other energy efficiency measures rely on engineers and facilities managers to make often costly changes to central building systems in order to conserve resources. Building Dashboard® directly educates, motivates and empowers employees to make behavioral changes themselves.
Build community and enhance public relations
Building Dashboard® helps to foster a sense of environmental responsibility and community among a company or organization’s members. Furthermore, it complements the variety of initiatives that many forward-looking companies are now adding to their environmental portfolios. Building Dashboard® is a tool that allows your company or organization to validate your commitment to environmental stewardship.
M&V and carbon accounting with Data Downloader
Building operators, facilities managers and directors of corporate sustainability can download archived data over any time scale into an Excel® spreadsheet using the web-based Data Downloader. Data can be manipulated, evaluated and used for monitoring and verification and carbon accounting. Password protection provides access that is limited to specified variables within the database.
Improve LEED® ratings
Benchmarking and improving the performance of buildings, as well as engaging the public about resource flows and the operation of green technologies, is contingent on high-resolution feedback. Building Dashboard® facilitates your ability to earn Measurement and Verification and Innovation in Design credits toward the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED® certification for both LEED® for New Construction and LEED® for Existing Buildings.
