Build It Green

Device Dashboard

What are the electrical needs for your learning space?

Use this dashboard to find out how much energy you will use based on the number of devices you need for your learning space. When you select a number of learning devices, the energy needed for the device will be displayed on the bar chart and the amount of your bill will be updated.

Your bill includes heating, cooling, lighting, and cooking food for breakfast and lunch. The only changes that will appear are changes in the energy needs based on the number of devices you choose for your learning space.

Estimating Electrical Use

Monthly Values
Monthly energy use values are based on an average 5 day/week schedule. When appropriate, values are scaled to account for seasonality and rounded for readability.

Learning Devices
Each device has a specified "hours used" amount listed. Energy use per month calculations are based on a formula of hours used * device count * days. Numbers are rounded for readability. Since the data has been rounded and averaged across days and months, this creates a slight inconsistency in the total bill generated. All models have limitations and this is an example of how models can help us in some ways, but are also limited.

Cost
Operational costs are based on average utility rates of Missouri in 2023.
