Between October 2008 and July 2014, Better Buildings EDA partners District of Columbia and Pepco successfully completed an extensive process of stakeholder engagement to enable whole building data access for multifamily, commercial, and federal building owners in their jurisdiction. The D.C. Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) played the role of the primary convener and carried out the stakeholder engagement process.

This case study illustrates the stakeholder engagement path followed by Washington, D.C. to successfully overcome challenges and implement data access within its jurisdiction.
