Gainesville Green matches consumption data from Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU) with home information from the Alachua County Property Appraiser. Using this public information, we can make apples-to-apples comparisons between different homes in Gainesville, using methods under development by the building scientists at PREC.

Our goal is to provide Gainesville with a simple tool to help visualize and track energy usage. It is our hope that making this data available to consumers in a transparent way, will enable individuals to make better decisions about their utility usage. We also aim to offer an easy way for renters and home buyers to evaluate the operating costs of a potential home.

Our energy report will let you view utility usage for many homes in Gainesville, and we're working hard to get more data available. The best place to start is to search for a home.
