Hope this is helpful. -J There’s a product that has been around for a while called Building Dashboard by Lucid Design Group that visualizes emissions as well as energy use:

They have a energy and resource monitoring system that they sell to the commercial and residential markets. There are screen shots of the user interface in these articles about their most recent project for a private school in Hillsborough, CA. They rolled out the brand new interface for this project. It makes use of a 3D model rendered in SketchUP with actual and accurate modeling of the angle of the sun on the buildings throughout any given day on any day of the year. The angle of the sun is integral to passive solar design and the performance of the green buildings. http://www.news.com/8301-11128_3-9916834-54.html http://earth2tech.com/2008/04/11/agilewaves-gauges-your-homes-greenness/ Btw, they do have a way to visualize carbon emissions in this design which will be included in their new version of their residential product.
