Data Hub, by Community Hub, is a platform that stores, interprets, and transforms raw data from buildings and organizations into interactive visualizations. It’s built to help teams make data-driven decisions that support a more sustainable future — whether that’s tracking electricity use across a campus, monitoring water consumption at a single facility, or comparing resource usage across an entire portfolio of buildings.

​
Who Data Hub Is For

  • Researchers and academics analyze reliable, longitudinal data for studies, projects, and publications.
  • Facility managers monitor and optimize building performance in real time.
  • Decision-makers and planners use historical and live data to guide sustainability initiatives.
  • Organizations and teams collaborate on shared data and insights to reach environmental goals together.

Key Capabilities

Centralized Data Management

Collect and store data from dataloggers, building systems, and public environmental APIs in one place — energy consumption, water usage, air quality, occupancy, and more.

Interactive Visualizations

Turn raw readings into time series, heatmaps, and comparison charts. Customize views to highlight the trends that matter most.

Scalable Across Organizations

Works for a single building or an entire portfolio spanning multiple organizations — switch between them without losing context.

Data Source Integrations

Connect dataloggers (Obvius, JACE, BuildingOS, Motion) and public APIs (AirNow, OpenWeatherMap, GLOS), or upload data directly via CSV.

How Data Hub Is Organized

Data Hub organizes everything around a simple hierarchy:
An organization (for example, a college or a city) is the top-level account that owns the data. Within an organization, a metered entity represents a building or asset — each with its own metadata like area, occupancy, and address. Each metered entity has one or more variables — the individual metrics being tracked, such as electricity use or water consumption, fed by a data source like a datalogger or an API. Variables are explored and shared through visualizations — trend charts, heatmaps, and comparisons — and can be pinned to a metered entity’s default dashboard. Access to an organization’s data is invite-only: an Admin (typically the person or entity responsible for the organization’s account) invites other users to view and work with the organization’s data.
