ASU Campus Metabolism (Campus Metabolism) is a website managed by Arizona State University, demonstrating Energy monitoring and targeting through use of real-time and historic energy use data of buildings on the campus in Tempe, Arizona.〔 The site displays data from an Energy Information System in order to support education, research, operations and outreach regarding sustainability of operations on the ASU Tempe campus.〔 The site is part of a plan for the campus to be carbon-neutral by 2025.〔 == History == In 2004,〔〔 APS Energy Services developed an Energy Information System (EIS) to provide the energy manager and ASU personnel with tools to monitor and manage energy and building use at the Tempe campus.〔 The EIS provided the foundation that was to become the public Campus Metabolism site and continues to aid decision-making regarding improvements and facilities management to reduce use of electricity, natural gas and chilled water.〔〔 The Campus Metabolism site was opened to the public on May 15, 2008 as a student project to measure and encourage responsible energy use by building occupants.〔〔〔 It expanded with the help of many organizations with an interest in reducing energy use on the Arizona State University campus〔〔 including the Global Institute of Sustainability, The National Center of Excellence on SMART Innovations, the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering,the ASU student chapter of Engineers Without Borders, and APS Energy Services.〔 Campus Metabolism expanded from 14 buildings in October 2008,〔 to 20 facilities and 21 renewable generation installations in July, 2011. Data from the system has also been used to advise facility management decisions on buildings that do not have energy monitoring systems.〔 Future plans for the site include installation of utility submetering devices in additional buildings, additional campuses,〔〔 display of metered potable and recycled water use, recycled, non-recyclable waste〔 and the ability to view energy use by floor in multi-story buildings.〔 The Campus Metabolism website is featured prominently on a kiosk at the entrance to Wrigley Hall of the ASU School of Sustainability at the ASU Tempe campus〔 and is publicly available through the World Wide Web.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ASU Campus Metabolism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
