Sustainability Dashboards

The Pitt Sustainability Dashboards provide interactive views of progress on select Pitt Sustainability Plan goals. These dashboards strengthen transparency, advance analytic capabilities, and help quantify the University’s impact as a global sustainability leader.

Interactive features allow you to view results at both building and campus scales, while simultaneously selecting variable time frames through which to review data and results. Most dashboards also allow data download (lower right corner, select “Crosstab”).
