Overview
Mission
Trade association to develop "Brick" technology standard
What it reported doing in 2025
We continue to build up our reserves in preparation of an eventual FTE. We released revised version of the standard and are on track to release a large update for 1.5 and have worked on preliminary plans for version 2.0. With collaborators from the Department of Energy, other universities, and other non-profits we presented at major industry conferences. We continued to work to align our standard with other industry standards and support integration with the emerging ASHRAE 223 standard, which is entering its preview stage and we expect to see released in 2026. We hosted along with our collaborators from the Real Estate Core Consortium our annual Brick/RECon virtual conference.

The verdict
