Make your green and energy efficient building come alive with the ALC Eco-Screen
Green buildings have demonstrated a commitment to sustainability by meeting higher performance standards in environmental responsibility and energy efficiency. They are built to have minimal environmental impact and be energy efficient, saving money and the environment.
Even though renewable energy is a rapidly growing trend, the green industry still has three obstacles to overcome:
- Higher Initial Investment
- Lack of Education
- Lack of Awareness
Several people are scared off by the higher initial costs for installing energy efficient systems and materials. The truth is a return on investment will be realized through lower operational costs.
ALC Eco-Screen addresses the other two obstacles by providing a web based solution educating the public about green buildings and
sustainability. Flash system animations bring the building to life and make the invisible workings of the building observable, teachable and engaging. Real-time graphs and gauges compare the energy savings of the energy efficient building to a “normal,” non-efficient building.
ALC Eco-Screen’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 building systems work. You have already made an investment by building a more energy efficient facility. 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.
Educate your audience by displaying live data such as current energy and water usage, the amount of CO2 being kept from the atmosphere, outdoor air conditions, and much more. Show live data on floor plans like energy use, temperatures or occupancy.
Show historical data such as energy consumption or outdoor air temperature by hour, day, 
week, month or year. Using the building’s before-renovation data or conventional building data, users can view a visual depiction of the amount of energy and water saved by graphically comparing trends to the present.
You are able to prove to users that building green is worthwhile and that the project will pay for itself in the long run.
ALC Eco-Screen can tie into building automation systems or individual metering devices to monitor energy data in real time. We offer a variety of building automation system integration options.
Display up to the minute weather information from a local weather station or online weather service. Allow viewers to see radar images, daily or weekly forecasts, as well as past weather conditions for your location.
Current data most commonly displayed includes outdoor air temperature, humidity and wind direction and speed. Past data includes historical highs and lows, total precipitation, and historical weather trends.
Educate
There are no limits to what ALC Eco-Screen can do to educate users. From live and historical energy consumption to calculators that compute how much money you can save from switching to compact florescent light bulbs. The possibilities are endless.
