the heating or cooling set point. If humidity is being measured within the zone then the environmental index shall be adjusted to reflect a lower comfort level for high or low humidity levels. Similarly, if carbon dioxide levels are being measured as an indication of ventilation effectiveness then the environmental index shall be adjusted to indicate degraded comfort at high carbon dioxide levels. Other adjustments may be made to the environmental index based upon additional measurements. The system shall maintain a trend of the environmental index for each zone in the trend log. The system shall also compute an average comfort index for every building included in this contract and maintain trend logs of these building environmental indices. Similarly, the system shall compute the percentage of occupied time that comfortable conditions were maintained within the zones. Through the UI the user shall be able to add a weighting factor to adjust the contribution of each zone to the average index based upon the floor area of the zone, importance of the zone, or other static criteria. Sustainability kiosk contractor shall provide all software, programming, content, computer or web server hardware, touchscreen panels, and configuration to display building sustainability. The purpose of this display is to inform and educate visitors and building occupants on the various systems and sustainability features of the building or buildings included in this project. The display shall allow a user to navigate through the screens by touching icons or other controls. Screens shall also be viewable through a standard web browser with a network connection to the contractor supplied hardware. Display shall highlight the sustainability features of the project by displaying automatically updated graphs that show energy use, water consumption, natural gas consumption, and sustainable features incorporated into the building such as solar panels, solar water heating, rainwater collection, geothermal heating and cooling, and similar features as applicable to the project. Display shall provide educational material about the resource being trended as well as tips on how building occupants can help reduce the use of these resources. Display shall also provide animated graphics and simple explanations about how basic building systems included in this project operate and how they affect energy consumption. Systems covered shall as a minimum include air handling units, boilers, chilled beam systems, energy recovery wheels, geothermal heat pump systems, rainwater recovery systems, solar water heating systems, solar photovoltaic panels, and wind turbine generators if such equipment is included in the project.
