About Livable Analytics:
This fast and cost-effective way of collecting and understanding occupant feedback in a building. The Survey Report and Benchmark tool will provide an interactive survey results report for a single building and showing comparisons (benchmarking) to the overall database.Originally developed by the Center for the Built Environment (CBE) at the University of California, Berkeley for research purposes, this resource has become widely adopted by manufacturers, building owners and design professionals to evaluate energy-efficient systems and technologies, and to understand how buildings and workplaces support building occupants in terms of productivity and well-being. It has also been adopted by several building evaluation organizations.
Design Considerations:
- Follow the icon design styles as shown in attached Livable analytics storyboards, please see 01a-Dashboard (the black icons) - bvut we don't want the icons to be black, you can look to make it interesting by including colors!
- Keep things consistent. This means all graphic styles should work together.
- All of the graphics should have a similar feel and general aesthetic appearance.
- Please use the provided template to showcase the logo designs
- Show your icons in black and white background.
