Then readers cast their vote for what they think are the best green building products and the most easy to use.

QA Graphics’ Energy Efficiency Education Dashboard (EEED) is an industry-leading graphical user interface (GUI) displayed on an interactive website or touchscreen display. The solution is used to educate staff, building occupants and the public about a building’s energy efficiencies or sustainable features. By integrating the EEED into the building’s control system, utility data can be displayed in real-time daily, weekly, monthly or yearly statistics. Facility managers and occupants can use the data to improve building performance, and compare historical data with consumption patterns to translate savings into monetary results. The EEED can also serve as a teaching tool to educate the public on a building’s sustainable features and how they reduce consumption. This education tool has been utilized by schools, universities, libraries, government buildings and others.
