WHAT AEGB IS

Austin Energy
Green Building
Made Clear

Austin Energy Green Building is a consulting, sustainability, and energy performance program used throughout Austin and the surrounding areas. Many commercial, multifamily, and PUD (Planned Unit Development) projects must achieve an AEGB rating before the City of Austin can approve permits or issue a Certificate of Occupancy.

Blink Energy Services functions as your AEGB coordinator, reducing the burden on architects and project teams while guiding the entire process from early planning through final approval.

Sustainability and Energy
Performance Ratings

AEGB evaluates projects across energy, water, materials, indoor air quality, and site development.

Required or Voluntary
Participation

Some projects must meet AEGB requirements, while others use the program to improve performance and market differentiation.

Star-Based Rating System

Projects earn a 1–5 Star AEGB rating depending on performance and scope.

Permit and CO Impact

AEGB compliance can directly affect permit approval and Certificate of Occupancy timelines.
