The KPI viewlet can be configured to show the current value of any monitored variable or total value for a period of time. For example, "Yearly Savings to Date", "Avoided CO2", "Campus kWh this Month", etc.  It can be configured to mirror real-time point data or calculate an accumulated value over a period of time such as “This Month”. Using the KPI Viewlet's "conversions" option in its configuration menu, users can also convert standard units into other relative measurements, including sustainability-focused options like barrels of oil, equivalent miles driven, metric tons of CO2, household energy per year, and acres of trees.
