Building Dashboard connects to virtually all building automation systems and energy management systems, including Alerton, Automated Logic, Cisco, Honeywell, Johnson Controls, Siemens, Square D/Schneider Electric, Trane, Tridium and more. Building Dashboard connects to all utility meters and submeters with either pulse or Modbus registers. Lucid also offers a network-enabled data logger, which can be used in buildings without sophisticated control systems or in standalone technology applications such as photovoltaic systems.

Building Dashboard enables easy, reliable and fully automated data collection, processing, storage and real-time display over the web. A powerful data warehouse makes real-time data crunching possible across thousands of buildings simultaneously. Lucid's hosted, off-site solution eliminates the need for on-site server hardware, lowering overall cost and allowing Building Dashboard to be broadcast to any personal computer, touchscreen display or web-enabled device anywhere in the world.

Building Dashboard is capable of monitoring and displaying all resources consumed and produced within a facility, including: electricity, water, natural gas, heating, cooling, solar electricity, wind electricity, solar thermal energy, geothermal energy, rainwater collection and recycling, wastewater recycling and more. Individual locations such as wings, floors and area loads; breakdowns of individual end uses such as HVAC, lighting, plugs and servers; and other variables such as temperature can also be monitored and displayed separately.

Building Dashboard is designed to rapidly scale from one building to hundreds or thousands of buildings for an organization. Scaling of monitored resources and buildings can take place incrementally, with additional resources and buildings added over time. Scaling of display methods, via either the addition of Building Dashboard Network or Building Dashboard Kiosk, is also possible incrementally and over time for any number of resources or buildings.

Building Dashboard Network allows users to make resource use comparisons and launch resource use reduction competitions at the most localized level (individual end uses, apartment units, floors or areas within buildings, or between neighboring buildings) up to the broadest level possible (between different buildings and organizations anywhere in the world). Local, regional and national comparisons and competitions utilize building- and organization-specific cost and emissions data to convey resource usage in buildings across communities and timezones.

Building Dashboard allows users to search for and view all publicly available building and organization profiles. This open sharing of best practices and performance data enables local, regional and national comparisons across individual buildings, groups and organizations. Privacy controls allow buildings or organizations that wish to remain private to omit their profile pages from network-wide search results.

Lucid's Data Downloader tool allows building operators, facilities managers, sustainability officers, researchers and students to quickly and easily download archived data into an Excel® spreadsheet for carbon accounting, monitoring and verification, troubleshooting or further manipulation. Password protection provides access that is limited to specified variables within the database.

Building Dashboard can be configured uniquely for your organization or buildings. Profile layouts, color palettes and background photos, as well as building and organization avatars, allow you to brand any dashboard to accommodate different physical, regional or audience-specific contexts, and brand, labeling and client or reseller identity requirements. Every Building Dashboard is one-of-a-kind.

Building Dashboard Network enables access on any personal computer and Flash-enabled smart phone or PDA anywhere in the world. All you need is a web browser. All popular web browsers support Building Dashboard.

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.
