About the Case Studies

The Case Studies Database currently includes all SB 2030 projects that have undergone at least one review of their energy data by the SB 2030 team (in practice, this means any project in or beyond the Design Development phase in the B3 Guidelines Tracking Tool).

All of the information shown here is reported by the project team, and is drawn from the phase before the current phase in the Tracking Tool, which allows the project’s guideline leader and agency contact and the B3/SB 2030 team to review the information before it becomes public.

If you are part of a project that either should be included on the database or is showing outdated information, first ensure that the project is up-to-date in the B3 Guidelines Tracking Tool. If the project’s status in the Tracking Tool does not explain the disparity, please contact us at casestudies@b3mn.org.

Buildings, Benchmarks & Beyond Case Studies Database

The B3 Case Studies Database provides design and performance information on projects using the B3 Guidelines and the SB 2030 Energy Standard. Each project case study includes a Scorecard with several performance metrics including energy, carbon, water, stormwater, and waste. The case study also includes an SB 2030 Label indicating the projects Energy Use Intensity (EUI) during design and actual performance.
