iBuilding is funded by JISC through the Greening ICT Programme. iBuilding will see the development and roll out of dashboards that will be used to enable staff and students access to data about the energy consumption of buildings on the UCLan campus. The dashboard will also enable two way communication between Facilities Management, who are responsible for the estate, and users of the dashboard to enable them to become more actively involved in managing UCLan's energy consumption.
This blog will be used to track the development of the project.
This is a really exciting project, and lots of people in the RSCs and the wider JISC community are wishing you well. My feeling is that the ability to see real data on energy usage in buildings is very likely to affect the behaviour of people who use them. It will be really useful to have some hard data to back this up.
