BetterBricks, Redesigned with You in Mind

February 1, 2018 By SBC

Whether you design, build, manage, and operate commercial buildings, BetterBricks partners with Northwest utilities to provide the resources you need to incorporate energy efficiency into your buildings and business practices. Based on feedback from Northwest commercial building professionals and energy experts, we’ve redesigned the BetterBricks website to make it easier to find the resources you need, when you need them. Now you can quickly search by technology, case studies, your specific industry role, or by the energy efficiency solution you need. Not sure where to get started? Check out these new website features:

Easily Searchable Resource Library

Search or browse our extensive library for commercial building resources, including guides, tools, videos, and case studies. Our resource library includes downloadable resources rated by quality and shares, and curated collections by industry role.

Create and Share a Collection

Our create a collection module lets you select the resources most relevant to you or a client and package them together in one place. After selecting the resources, you can name the collection of resources you have selected and write a brief description, and generate a private link to share or save, which gives you access to your collection whenever you need it.

CRE Hub

Developed alongside industry leaders and Northwest utilities specifically for the commercial real estate market, the CRE Hub helps you narrow your list of energy efficiency resources to quickly get the building design, use, operation and maintenance tools you need the most. You can search commercial real estate resources by building lifecycle (maintenance, tune up, retrofit and major renovation), desired non-energy benefits, problems and solutions, or by technology.

Share Feedback and Stay in Touch

Let the team at BetterBricks know what you think! Contact us to share thoughts for improvement or ideas for content. You can also sign up for the BetterBricks newsletter and be the first to receive new case studies and resources.
