DECARBONISATION DASHBOARD
A leading UK university wanted to improve its decision-making on energy efficiency and carbon reduction initiatives to help deliver its commitment to embed environmental sustainability in all aspects of its operations.
RLB Digital provided a digital solution by developing a decarbonisation dashboard powered by Power BI which simplifies the evaluation of decarbonisation strategies and their impacts.
The dashboard combines high-level scenario analysis with property-specific insights to support strategic planning and implementation, empowering the university’s stakeholders to identify and prioritise impactful interventions. Its interactive navigation, dynamic visuals and detailed comparisons make it a valuable tool for achieving sustainability goals while balancing cost and efficiency.

Snapshot of important data
The reports generated by the dashboard provide comparative insights into various decarbonisation scenarios and their financial implications while offering detailed property-level analysis. The decarbonisation summary section provides a high-level overview of key insights and metrics, designed to provide users with a quick, easily digestible snapshot of the most important data points.
Further detail in the scenario analysis section compares nine decarbonisation scenarios, including interventions such as insulation, window replacement, heat pumps and lighting upgrades.
Insights on carbon savings
The dashboard provides various insights, including energy and carbon savings across all scenarios, highlighting the potential reductions compared to a baseline. To identify the most impactful measures, reports cover total project costs and associated payback periods to evaluate financial feasibility, and the contribution of each scenario to overall energy and carbon savings.
A ‘Switch to Best Combined Scenario’ button enables users to switch from the full nine-scenario view to focus on the four most impactful scenarios. The updated page displays the same visuals tailored to these scenarios for streamlined, targeted analysis.
“The decarbonisation dashboard provides a clear, interactive and data-driven view of energy efficiency options, helping clients make informed decisions that balance environmental impact with financial feasibility. The ability to compare multiple scenarios and drill down into property-specific insights empowers teams to prioritise the most effective interventions.”Madalina Sima, Senior Developer, RLB Digital
