Building Electricity Usage Leaderboard for 2012

This leaderboard takes the most recent weekly electricity meter reading and compares it to the average weekly reading over the previous year. Reduction in electricity consumption is indicated by a minus (-) sign before the percentage by which it has reduced based on it's previous average, and an increase in consumption is indicated by a plus (+) sign before the percentage by which consumption has increased. The buildings that have reduced their electricity the most will show at the top of the leaderboard.

This site shows you clearly how fast the electricity meter is currently spinning in featured buildings across UNSW. We think this is a great way to educate our University community, on our energy use and will help us all to better manage it. Look at the electricity your building is using. Together we can use this information to figure out ways to save electricity. Measuring and monitoring our electricity use is the first step to managing and reducing our carbon emissions and our environmental impact.
