Show How Your School Is Green

Energy Dashboard for SchoolsThe Energy Efficiency Education Dashboard is used by schools to educate the staff, faculty, students, parents and community about the school’s sustainable initiatives and building resource use.   As schools work to become more efficient and new schools are built sustainably, there is a need to educate the next generation on the importance of sustainability.

Integrate The EEED Into Your curriculum
The EEED is a great tool for students; everything is presented in a user-friendly format similar to a website, making it easy to use for all ages. It can be used as a module for curriculum with information about the environment and how to be sustainable, with graphics, videos, and interactive quizzes.  The interactive design is fun and encourages students to learn more, and the information can change and grow with the students. The content and graphics used on the display can easily be edited, allowing teachers to change the display according to their curriculum.

Utilize the EEED a number of ways:
• Online
• Touch screen or kiosk
• Existing computer networks
• Other technology common to schools

YOU Can Change/Update the Information
QA Graphics will work with you closely to create an EEED specific to your school with photo-realistic graphics, educational demos, interactive components, and more. Then you have the ability to change the information as often as needed. Easily update content, images or videos throughout the dashboard using a simple content management system (CMS).  We’ll provide training but rest assured, making edits will be easy.

YOU Control It
The EEED is a product, which you maintain control of with NO contracts or recurring fees, and internal IT professionals can decide how it’s integrated into the school's network.  Why pay monthly fees for a product? If you need help, or want an update, we’ll be here.


Customize your school’s EEED with a variety of features to educate about sustainability:

Real-time Utility Data – View real time utility usage such as water, electric or gas. View usage by the hour/day/week/month and compare it to historical data to immediately see how effective your efficiency efforts are.

School Leaderboard – Engage students and faculty with an ongoing contest to conserve building resources and show how they compare among floors within a building or against multiple buildings. Display their real-time resource use in hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly increments to show who’s winning, as well as historical information past rankings. 

Green Features – Provide easy to understand educational information about the sustainable efforts made throughout the school.

Environmental Tips – Provide easy tips that students can do to be more efficient at school or at home, such as turning off the lights when you’re not in a room or turning the water off when brushing your teeth.

Animated Demos – Demonstrate how sustainable features such as geothermal heat pumps, storm water management systems or photovoltaics actually work.

LEED Checklist – If the school is LEED certified, show what was done to achieve this.

Weather Display – Access live weather information to view the current weather and forecast.

Interactive Quiz – Quiz students on the sustainable information provided throughout the EEED.
