System Animations

Americans receive enough junk mail in one day to heat 250,000 homes.

Every year, more than $13 billion worth of energy leaks from houses through small holes and cracks. That's more than $150 per family!

"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

GreenTouchscreen’s control system animations provide an exciting and powerful way to visualize the hidden systems within your facility. Highly animated, schematically accurate, and very intuitive, our kiosks provide system animations that help educate users about how these systems work. You have already made an investment by building a more energy efficient building. Now is your chance to educate anyone who comes to your facility about the hidden systems integrated into the building and the effects they have on the environment and the community.

Some system animations feature simulated data to show how a system typically works, but by utilizing the core power of the iBPortal within GreenTouchscreen, your facility’s live data can be overlaid on the animation. Show the status and efficiency of HVAC equipment, water pumps, solar panels and any other system you wish to depict graphically. We, at GreenTouchscreen, work closely with the building owners, engineers, and architects to ensure systems are represented accurately and effectively.

Benefits
-Enhances representation of system data
-Provides a teaching tool

Functionality
-Graphically depicts schematic systems
-Live data or simulated data can be used for animation and overlaid on top
-Operational sequence descriptions used to help show Step 1, Step 2, Step 3 - 2D or 3D animations can be developed

Examples

"Thank you so much for all of your help in breaking ground for new green building technologies and making available the data that demonstrates the benefits." Dr. Kirstin Dow, Associate Professor, Learning Center for Sustainable Futures University of South Carolina Columbia, South Carolina

Electric vehicles (EV's) are the only true zero-emissions vehicles on the road.

Every time you open the refrigerator door, up to 30 percent of the cold air can escape.
