Powerful Data
Benchmarking & Analysis
California’s Building Performance Standards (BPS) and local ordinances require buildings across the state to track and report energy use annually to remain in compliance, avoid fines, and advance climate goals. To make that process simple, USGBC California has partnered with Measurabl — a six-time ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year — to provide a free solution that complements and extends ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager®.
The platform includes a bidirectional sync with ESPM plus enhanced functionality that enables performance benchmarking, ensures data quality, and helps owners and operators stay compliance-ready across California and beyond.
