Why home performance matters
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™
Compare homes like never before
Photos and floor plans show what a home looks like. Pearl shows how it performs—across five key dimensions that affect your daily life.
Safety
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?
Comfort
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?
Operations
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.
Resilience
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.
Energy
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.
