BLDG 2.0 is a research project initiated by CASE, in partnership with New Buildings Institute, Arup Sustainability, SHoP Architects, Columbia University and IDEO. BLDG 2.0 will address two, somewhat paradoxical, barriers to informed sustainable design: the lack of publicly accessible performance data and the difficulty of extracting meaningful, consistent information from the raw, unstandardized data when it is available. BLDG 2.0 will move beyond this to create a real knowledge resource for building performance.

Unsurprisingly, BLDG 2.0 didn't make it into the second stage of the AIA's Latrobe Prize competition. :-( Unfortunately, we need a few more grey hairs and martinis with the jurors before we're accepted as members of the club. Nothing like paying your dues.
