Local reach codes and policies need to be more effective than ever given the changes at the federal level. One way to develop more impactful policies is to ground them in data. There are a number of data tools available that can help local governments learn about their existing building stock, determine where action is most needed, and effectively guide communities and building owners towards specific actions. This workshop will provide an overview of four building data tools, including strengths and weaknesses of each, together with a demonstration of how to access and use the data from the tools for a specific city.  Whether you are considering a reach code, wondering whether a building performance standard is right for you, or working on a climate action plan, this workshop will provide practical information and tools for maximizing the impact of your policies.
