Harvard University's Building Dashboard®

Harvard's new 5 Cowperthwaite graduate student residence hall is equipped with a Building Dashboard® that monitors electricity, water, heating energy, and cooling energy consumption in real time. Accessible via a touch-screen kiosk located in the main lobby, the display is intended to inform student occupants and visitors about the continuous patterns of consumption within the residence hall's living spaces.

Energy use can be instantly converted into dollars spent or equivalent number of lightbulbs used, while water use can be expressed in bottles of water and minutes of shower use -- either per person or for the entire building. In addition to real-time resource use information, Harvard's Building Dashboard® features live weather conditions and daily forecasts, a community events calendar, and up-to-the-minute bus route information.
