"By constantly having their energy consumption displayed on the GreenTouchscreen®, our students are developing a new awareness of how their habits impact the environment. It also invokes a sense of energy competitiveness between the students that live there. Having the website available to the rest of the campus (and the world) sends a message of 'we care' in the sense of environmental stewardship." Mike Lubberden, Director, Construction and Energy Management Central College Pella, Iowa

Quality Attributes Software Helps Bridgewater State College Incorporate Sustainable Practices into the Lives of Students

Bridgewater - Electricity

Bridgewater, Massachusetts - Bridgewater State College (BSC) is one of the forerunners of state schools in Massachusetts for the use of sustainable practices, so it is only fitting that they called upon Quality Attributes Software (QAS), the leaders in the “green” educational kiosk industry, to help showcase their new residence hall. QAS’ innovative GreenTouchscreen® kiosk will be placed in Crimson Hall, the campus’ first sustainable building, to encourage awareness of sustainability and to incorporate sustainable practices into the lives of residents on campus.

The GreenTouchscreen® kiosk has been customized to educate users about the advantages of sustainable building and the unique energy saving systems that BSC has incorporated into Crimson Hall. The kiosk contains real time energy gauges and energy usage graphs that compare Crimson Hall to a typical building. To help users realize the impact of the building’s sustainable systems, energy equivalents have also been added.

“The Green Touchscreen has become an informative and useful tool for explaining Crimson Hall’s sustainable features. The kiosk has become a featured stop on prospective student tours and for other colleges touring the new residential facility. Interestingly, Bridgewater State plans to locate another Touchscreen in an upcoming renovation to sponsor competing energy usage contests between residence halls,” stated Scott Plante, a Boston-based architect with DiMella Shaffer.

Crimson Hall is the first sustainable residence hall in the Massachusetts State College Building Authority’s System and it is clear that BSC has worked hard to integrate sustainability not just into the curriculum but also into the educational experience and living community of the students. Crimson Hall’s customized GreenTouchscreen kiosk® helps BSC provide a unique and interesting way to incorporate sustainable practices into the lives of residents on campus and to those who visit the college.
