A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
The UNC Energy Dashboard website, launched in 2011, displays near real-time steam, chilled water, and electricity use data for more than 200 campus buildings. The dashboard interface was custom designed for UNC. Data can be exported and analyzed in multiple formats. Building energy consumption for all three utilities, plus renewable energy sources, can be viewed in hourly, monthly, and annual increments. The data also enables comparisons of energy use among buildings.
A brief description of any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation (if not reported above):
The dashboard displays information for more than 200 campus buildings. After UNC completed building-level energy metering across campus, a custom dashboard was developed to share information with the campus community. The dashboard was designed to provide feedback to building occupants and maintenance personnel so they could assess the result of behavior changes and operating practices. Since 2011, UNC's energy consumption per square foot has decreased by 9%..
