“A Dazzling, Data-Driven Showstopper”

ESI Design's Beacon at PNC Tower, Pittsburgh, PA USA

The greenest office tower in the world, The Tower at PNC Plaza, opened in Pittsburgh, PA earlier this month,  One of its most groundbreaking innovations is how it engages with employees to communicate the invisible things that the building is doing behind the scenes to conserve energy and water – and the role that employees can play in maximizing the building’s efficiency.

The communication is all done through a soaring, 24-foot-high installation in the Tower’s lobby that uses real-time data from the building to reveal how the building is performing through light, color, and sound patterns. It’s been hailed as a “dazzling, data-driven showstopper” by MNN (Mother Nature Network) and received coverage in outlets from Slate to Architect Magazine.
