School districts are increasingly adopting commitments to reduce carbon and plan for sustainability, which are translating into specific targets as part of long-range and bond planning and investments in facilities and operational improvements. With rapid changes to technology and market conditions, the priorities and timelines identified in roadmaps can often become dated before the next planning cycle. Carbon and sustainability roadmaps can allow for districts to adjust their implementation strategies and timelines while maintaining their sustainability commitments. Interactive online dashboards can provide agility in decision-making and allow for new priorities to be tested. The tools can provide detailed data insights for a targeted audience such as operations staff to make decisions about critical infrastructure improvements. Other dashboards can be used for planning purposes and oriented for a wider audience.

Join Mithun associate principal Jason Wilkinson and computational designer Anik Alam for “Interactive Carbon Roadmap Dashboards,” a panel presentation that will introduce interactive tools school districts can leverage for decision making on the implementation of carbon reduction priorities. Attendees will learn how interactive dashboards and AI tools can engage school district constituents in conversation on how to achieve their climate action commitments.

Jason will moderate this session. Anik’s co-panelists include PAE senior principal Ruwan Jayaweera, New Buildings Institute associate director Reilly Loveland and Bainbridge Island School District student Tristan King.
