BETTER is a software toolkit that delivers actionable insights to improve energy, emissions, and financial performance in buildings and portfolios without requiring site visits and complex modeling. Through advances in remote building energy analytics, BETTER replaces a preliminary on-site audit, streamlines an investment-grade audit, uncovers no-cost and low-cost efficiency measures to immediately cut energy costs across a portfolio, and targets the buildings that can most easily achieve net zero energy.
