For Programs

Pearl offers several ways for programs to integrate and leverage its powerful features. Whether you’re looking to automate data exchange, provide certifiable data, or build custom integrations, Pearl provides flexible solutions to meet your needs. This section provides practical recipes and tutorials demonstrating how programs can effectively interact with Pearl’s APIs to achieve specific goals.

We understand that different programs have different requirements and technical capabilities. Therefore, we offer the following integration options:

  • HPXML Integration: Pearl supports integration via HPXML, a standard data exchange format for the home performance industry. This option simplifies data sharing and interoperability with other HPXML-compliant tools and platforms. By leveraging HPXML, programs can seamlessly exchange data with Pearl, including energy audit data and post-retrofit project data. This approach is ideal for programs already using HPXML or those seeking a standardized way to exchange building performance data.

  • Snugg Pro Integration: Pearl offers a dedicated integration with Snugg Pro, a leading BPI-2400 compliant home energy auditing software. This integration streamlines the process of transferring data between Snugg Pro and Pearl, allowing users to seamlessly import certifiable data into Pearl for certification. This option simplifies workflows for programs already using Snugg Pro and enhances the overall user experience.

This “For Programs” section provides step-by-step guides and practical examples demonstrating how to use each of these integration methods. If you’re looking to streamline data exchange for certification, you’ll find the resources you need to get started here.
