Profile
Touchstone IQ is the premier building performance compliance company and provides a purpose-built software platform, as well as supporting consulting services.
Our platform covers every energy benchmarking and building performance standard regulation in the United States, showing owners which of their buildings are covered, what each one owes, and when it is due. Our team can then do the work that follows on your behalf: benchmarking, plan development, capital planning toward meeting targets, energy audits, exemption and extension analysis, and filings.
What differentiates us from other providers is that we work both sides of the table. Touchstone IQ supports more than 25 jurisdictions in administering the same programs we help owners comply with, including the City of Seattle's Building Emissions Performance Standard. Twelve years in, when we tell an owner how a program will treat their building, we are not guessing.
Our Pacific Northwest work spans institutional REITs, housing authorities, and regional owner-operators, from single assets to portfolios of more than 35 buildings, including a 727-unit, 13-building multifamily portfolio taken through energy audits and capital planning in a single engagement.
That matters here right now. Between Seattle benchmarking, Building Tune-Ups, Seattle BEPS, and the Washington Clean Buildings Performance Standard, a single multifamily property can carry several obligations on different clocks. Every multifamily building over 20,000 square feet is Tier 2 under Clean Buildings, with a compliance deadline of July 1, 2027.
