Reporting
The University ofÌýColorado utilizes a variety of energy monitoring tools, processes, and programs to provide insights into energy consumption trends, predict future usage, and identify opportunities for energy efficiency and cost reduction.
Below is a list of energy dashboards created by the Energy Services Organization (ESO) to monitor and track energy performance across the CU Boulder campus.
For more information about these dashboards or CU Boulder’s energy efficiency initiatives, please contact energy manager Ellen Edwards at ellen.edwards@colorado.edu
