Database Tools

High Performance Federal Buildings Database

The High Performance Federal Buildings Database showcases sustainable, high-performing buildings in the federal government. These buildings feature various combinations of energy-efficient practices, such as daylighting, and renewable energy technologies, such as building integrated photovoltaics. This database taps into the High Performance Buildings Database of the DOE Building Technologies Program and provides valuable project-related information. Depending on the project, this information can include details about finance, land use, building materials, and many other project elements. For more information, visit the High Performance Federal Buildings Database.

Sustainable Federal Buildings Database

This tool provides easy access to a compilation of federal agency policies and guidelines on energy efficient, sustainable government facilities. Exemplary policies from other levels of government are also included. Documents included range from general policy directives to specific design criteria and operating requirements. For more information, visit the tool on the Whole Building Design Guide Web site.
