How a home performs shapes what it's like to live in every day — from the air you breathe to how comfortable you feel to what it costs to run each month. For the first time, every single family home in the U.S. has a comparable home performance profile. Pearl SCORE™ is how that picture comes together — a single rating across five dimensions: safety, comfort, operations, resilience, and energy.
Pearl SCORE™
Photos and floor plans show what a home looks like. Pearl shows how it performs—across five key dimensions that affect your daily life.
How well does this home protect against health hazards like mold, radon, carbon monoxide, poor air quality, and contaminated water? Does it have working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, proper ventilation, and water filtration?
Can this home maintain consistent temperatures and humidity levels year-round? Does it control drafts and provide good daylighting? Does it protect occupants from outdoor noise?
How efficiently do the home's systems work together? This includes HVAC performance, water heating, appliance efficiency, building envelope features like insulation and air sealing, and ductwork. Operational efficiency shows up directly in your utility bills.
How well can this home withstand environment stressors like flooding, wildfires, hurricanes, or severe winter storms? Resilience includes structural protections, backup power systems, and climate adaptation features—a growing priority for homebuyers.
What are the home's energy generation and storage capabilities? This covers solar panels, battery backup, EV charging infrastructure, smart electrical panels, and overall energy consumption. Energy features provide backup power during outages and reduce dependence on the grid.

For Buyers
Photos and floor plans only tell part of the story. Pearl SCORE™ shows the performance factors that photos and floor plans miss. Ones that will affect your monthly costs, comfort, and safety for years to come.
How well the home protects your health and safety, maintains consistent comfort, and performs reliably
For Homeowners
Public records can contain some of your home's performance data, but it's scattered across different sources. Pearl organizes this information into one clear picture. When you claim your home inside the free Pearl app, Pearl also lets you complete your home's performance story by updating your home's performance profile— so the market sees what your home is actually like to live in.
