These provide live energy data, links to other sustainability programs, top tips, water use and waste diversion numbers.

A brief description of any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation (if not reported above):
The initiative has seen a number of positive programs developed and implemented on campus. Engaging with residents has been a priority and a residence environment committee oversee a annual competition between residences during a specific 2 week period on campus. This resulted in a reduction of 7% in energy use above a baseline of the previous year (2015). In addition a set of programs has been developed to support the competition period including themed events (dine in the dark) and coffee hours.
The data including within the dashboards has also been made available for students to support course work and provide key indicators for overall energy reduction and programs on campus.
