What it is

Building
performance,
made visible.

The California Building Performance Pulse helps owners, operators, and other policymakers benchmark building performance using one of California’s largest commercial real estate datasets.

Filter and compare cohorts by property type, geography, floor area, year built, and more to better understand how buildings perform across energy, water, and carbon.
