Soda Hall is the computer science building. It is the only classroom building on campus with showers. Completed in August 1994, Soda Hall was a $35.5 million project, funded entirely by private gifts to the College of Engineering.

The Green Building Research Center at UC Berkeley has developed a Building Energy Dashboard to provide users with historical and real-time performance metrics for UC Berkeley campus buildings. The system will consist of two main types of information: (1) monthly representations of energy, water, and other metrics, and (2) real-time displays of data from buildings for which network accessible data is available.
The Dashboard enables benchmarking and automated comparisons between periods of time, and/or between campus buildings. The ultimate goal of this project is to help shape the behavior and resource use decisions of campus faculty, students, and staff in creating a more sustainable campus. We released this beta-version of the dashboard at the CACS Summit on April 27, 2007.

One of the critical goals outlined in the 2005 Campus Sustainability Assessment is to provide energy usage feedback and education, and to publicize energy consumption data in readily available venues. The Building Energy Dashboard provides building performance data in an accessible and effective form via the Internet, and has the ability to compare energy usage across time periods and buildings.
The Building Energy Dashboard can inform the campus community about the buildings they inhabit, educating users about energy efficiency on a personal and effective scale. The GBRC hopes that providing access to real-time data may inspire buildings, departments, and dormitories to set goals and/or establish competitions to reduce energy usage.
