Project Purpose
• Purpose: (1) Building on work completed in Green IT, conduct a systems analysis for the creation of an energy management dashboard for Acadia and (2) Design a functional mock-up
• Approach: Development in Phases
• Timeline: – Winter 2011 – Green IT RA/mock-up– Winter 2012 - SAD – Summer 2012 – First phase implementation (kWh &
residences, other features/content)
What are Dashboards?
• Software programs that track and display the exact amount of energy being consumed in a building at any given time
Why install a dashboard?
• Next step in energy management at Acadia
• Education and engagement (e.g. awareness, competitions http://aiae.acadiau.ca/campus-climate-challenge.html)
• Real-time data helps monitor and manage energy use
• Helps occupants modify behaviors (e.g. car dashboard)
Project Overview
• Requirements for data management/display
• Scope: – electricity use (kWh)
– fuel consumption (L)
– GHG greenhouse gas emissions (CO2e)
– Water (L)
• Integration with Acadia CMS website?
• Primary features and functions (e.g. energy data, description, competition, green features, tips)
• Design mock-up
• Future: secondary features (e.g. app, widgets, social media)
Energy System @ Acadia
• Electricity and fuel use @ Acadia
• Johnson Controls Energy Contract & retrofits etc.
