We're building data dashboards to aid in decision making
and to make data more engaging for residents
Green Building Dashboard: Facts & Trends (2010 - Present)
Community Development Department - City of Cambridge, MA
How To Use This Page
The data presented on this page can be viewed through any filter(s) of your choice:
To view all residential buildings, simply click on the "Residential" slice in the "Primary Project Use" graph.
The graphs and charts will adjust to only show data pertaining to "Residential" buildings.
You can also hover over a different data points in any graph for some additional information.
To exit out of that filter, click a second time on that slice.
To view the data through more than one filter, hold down "CTRL" and then "click" the filters of your choice.
Note: When using more than one filter, the data can only be sorted one graph at a time. For example, you cannot choose as filters both a
primary use (i.e. "Residential"') and a neighborhood, (i.e. "North Cambridge") since they are in two different graphs.
For any suggestions, questions/comments, or feedback please contact Wendell Joseph at [email protected] or [phone removed].
