Building Energy Modelling
Building Energy & Carbon Dashboard is a tiered platform that helps users understand and reduce energy use and carbon emissions in buildings.
The Building Energy and Carbon Footprint Dashboard is a multi-level web platform designed to increase energy literacy and drive climate action across a range of users—from building occupants to professionals. Focused on operational energy and based on historical performance data, it provides actionable insights, benchmarks, and visualizations that scale with user expertise.
The dashboard includes four progressive levels:
-
Level 1 – Public Awareness:
A simple energy and carbon score (e.g., A–F grade or 0–100 scale) with clear visual feedback based on historical usage. It helps the general public understand a building’s environmental impact using relatable metrics. -
Level 2 – Engaged Citizens (Enthusiasts):
Offers monthly energy and carbon trends, end-use breakdowns (e.g. heating, lighting), and comparisons to similar buildings. This level promotes deeper understanding of energy behavior and encourages conservation. -
Level 3 – Facility Managers:
Includes normalized metrics like Energy Use Intensity (EUI), CO₂ per m², and energy cost tracking. It supports performance benchmarking, anomaly detection, and emissions reporting using standardized indicators (e.g. ENERGY STAR, GHG protocols). -
Level 4 – Consultants / Analysts:
Enables integration with EnergyPlus models to simulate scenarios, assess retrofits, and forecast carbon reductions. Ideal for expert users seeking high-precision, data-driven decision support.
The platform is designed to expand alongside data availability and user needs, helping drive both public awareness and professional decarbonization strategies.
