"Dashboards" or displays of real-time energy consumption provide easy-to-understand, real-time feedback on building energy use. People can see immediately what impact their behaviour has, not just in terms of money but in terms of carbon as well. Due to this, they are big motivators in helping building occupants reach target goals for energy reduction and provide immediate feedback on their efforts.

Real-time display devices are able to show energy use in pounds, pence, units of CO2, monitoring, analysis, and efficient dispatching of utility information.

The first step in an energy management programme is to install smart meters/data loggers capable of transmitting digital data. In order to get an accurate measure of a buildings energy usage.

The second step is an informative, visually appealing display for viewing the data: the real-time display. This display will take a real-time data feed from the meters and turn it into information capable of being interpreted by anyone in your business.

The third step is to purchase, install, and connect LCD TVs. Visual displays can be strategically positioned in areas of high traffic in order to maximize the number of individuals exposed to the information.

Our proposed system will be capable of displaying a variety of trend data. It is possible to plot monthly energy consumption data on graphs to show changes over time. It is also possible to create multiple displays, allowing specialisation for each building. This would allow for an energy conservation competition between different floors in your organisation and encourage employees to think more about their energy consumption.

RTDs can be on programmable timer switches to avoid energy wastage.

Administrators are able to program messages to appear on the RTDs.

Messages can be specific to each floor.

Scheduled with a start time and duration with frequency of appearance.

RTDs can use Windows based thin clients with the following pros:

• Cost-effective
• Environmentally friendly -  using 1/10 of the energy of a PC
• Secure -  eliminating virus and trojan risks.
