Between 2012 and 2015, Better Buildings Energy Data Accelerator partners Boston, Cambridge, and Eversource successfully completed an extensive process of stakeholder engagement to enable whole building data access for multi-family and commercial building owners in their jurisdiction. Because of a strong collaboration between the two cities, Cambridge was able to quickly build on the experience Boston had of working with Eversource to deploy a utility solution for local building owners.

The partnership between Boston, Cambridge, and Eversource is a leading example of successfully crafting a whole building data access solution in a collaborative manner.
