e-Bench

Accacia is a full-stack climate-tech platform built for the real estate and construction industry that empowers developers and asset owners to measure, reduce, and report carbon emissions across their portfolios. It enables real-time tracking of environmental performance, covering operational carbon, embodied carbon, and ESG indicators, and integrates data automation tools to reduce manual effort. Through its platform, users can source low-carbon building materials and energy-efficient equipment, deploy renewables and EV-charging, and execute decarbonization strategies while maintaining compliance with global frameworks such as GRESB and BRSR. The system combines embodied-carbon analysis from design through construction, operational-emissions monitoring in buildings, and automated sustainability reporting in a unified workflow. Beyond measurement, it offers actionable insights and vendor-marketplace integration to simplify procurement of green building solutions.

Funded by the MN Departments of Commerce and Administration, B3 Benchmarking puts the power of public building energy data in the hands of Minnesota public building owners to manage and reduce energy costs. Benchmark energy modeling, peer comparisons, ENERGY STAR® scores, target tracking, and dynamic reporting help you understand the performance of your buildings. B3, which stands for Buildings, Benchmarks, and Beyond, puts the power of building energy data in your hands. Using basic building and meter information, the online tool summarizes energy consumption, costs, and carbon emissions in easily digestible monthly and annual reports for Minnesota public buildings. By reducing energy consumption, you lower your operating costs – freeing up money for your organization’s core services. B3 Benchmarking helps you ensure your building is operating and performing as expected, and the tool screens buildings that would provide the greatest return on investment from any building improvements.
