a data visualization artwork based on data from a building monitoring system that gathers electricity, condensate, & chilled water usage figures in real time. the purpose of the eco-visualization is to make key environmental performance data publicly accessible & easy to understand for everyone.

the so-called eco-visualization is composed of a sequence of animated clips using a series of tree images that correspond to the carbon loads in the building. an accompanying website invites building residents to make individual public commitments to reduce their own carbon footprint.
