Green Buildings Perform — Digital Scoreboard

From one of Fast Company magazine’s websites:

The Dynamic Plaque, a freestanding digital dashboard built by the U.S. Green Building Council in conjunction with the design firm Ideo, aims to address this problem.

The plaque acts like a visual scoreboard. It tracks how a building performs in five categories: energy, waste, transportation, water, and human experience. Owners can compare their building’s current and past performance and can examine the building’s overall performance relative to comparable structures.

Additionally, they can enter the building’s performance data into the USGBC’s online interface as frequently as they want–but the USGBC will require owners to submit building data at least once a year. Occupants are also encouraged to enter data, under the “human performance” section, and add complaints or suggest improvements.

There’s a 96-second video on that page as well.
