Pearl gives state agencies, utilities, and public programs an independent home performance standard — one they can use to set program goals, measure outcomes, and document impact with data that holds up across administrations and funding cycles. Pearl's market transformation expertise is grounded in decades of building science research and applied experience.
As a Public Benefit Corporation, Pearl collaborates with the public sector to create long lasting demand for energy efficiency and solar.
We help the public sector meet residential energy conservation, decarbonization and electrification goals by driving demand for energy-efficient home improvements and solar.
How does this work? We call it the Home Value Cycle and it fuels the theory behind our market transformation strategy.
Each Pearl Home Performance Report captures the quality-of-life benefits and equity value of the energy efficiency and solar upgrades made to a home and translates that information for homeowners, buyers, and sellers. Easily integrated into any program and supported by a suite of homeowner-friendly tools, our report helps ensure homeowners receive a return on the investments they make in their home and drives market transformation.
The Pearl Home Performance Report meets and exceeds the IRA Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) HOMES program third-party certification requirement.
Pearl's app supports long-term demand for residential energy efficiency by highlighting upgrades that boost energy efficiency, comfort, and resilience and connecting users to incentives to make improvements affordable.
Homeowners can document features like heat pumps, solar panels, and insulation to earn a higher Pearl Score™ and qualify for and request a Pearl Home Performance Report directly in the app.
America's new benchmark for home performance.
The Pearl Registry is the first national system that scores and documents home performance. Pearl has scored all 86 million single family homes in the United States. The Registry makes data about the upgrades made in the home visible in the real estate market, helping homeowners capture the full value of their participation in programs while also protecting their privacy.
Pearl captures, categorizes, and communicate a home’s high-performing features. Our performance scoring methodology is built on building science and subject matter expertise and translated for non-building science experts, such as homeowners and all parties involved in the real estate transaction, providing high-quality, accurate information about how homes can be built, improved, and accurately valued.
Pearl is designed to work with other scores, labels, and standards. We're a proud partner of the ENERGY STARⓇ Home Upgrade program and the U.S. Department of Energy's Home Energy Score labeling program.
