Benchmarking Platform
Free Sustainability Benchmarking Powered by Measurabl
Overview
California’s Building Performance Standards (BPS) and local ordinances require buildings across the state to track and report energy use each year to stay in compliance, avoid fines, and make progress toward climate goals.
To make that process easy for owners and operators, USGBC-CA has partnered with Measurabl — a six-time ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year — to provide a free solution and support that enhances your use of ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager®.
