Come find Green Badger at the 2026 USGBC California Green Building Conference. We’ll be on-site to show how project teams are implementing sustainability initiatives on live building projects.
Green Badger replaces spreadsheets, email chains, and last-minute documentation with one system to track LEED, ESG, materials, and carbon as the work happens.
Green Badger has also partnered with USGBC CA to help contractors standardize and streamline sustainability data reporting through the Contractor’s Commitment, making it easier to track, manage, and report ESG performance across projects.
SB 253
Green Badger will also be on hand to help you navigate California’s SB 253. SB 253 shifts stainability from a project-level initiative to a business requirement, and building teams are now at the center of that shift. Large companies that do business in California must disclose emissions and climate risk, and that data comes directly from projects. That means energy use, materials, and construction activity are now inputs to public reporting.
For contractors, developers, and design teams, this changes how projects are run. We can help standardize how your projects capture and manage data across projects.
What the teams staying ahead are doing
Beyond SB 253, there are also updates to the state’s green building code, CALGreen, which now require large commercial projects to address embodied carbon, pushing teams to measure and reduce emissions tied to materials like concrete and steel. Starting in 2026, all new permits must comply with the updated Title 24 code cycle, which expands requirements around carbon, clean energy, and resilience. These changes mean sustainability is no longer just about how a building operates. It now includes what it is made of, how it is built, and how that data is documented.
If you’re heading to USGBC California
Schedule a demo with us during the conference (LINK) or just stop by our booth! We’ll walk through how teams are using Green Badger on real projects and how that applies to your work in California.
