eProject Builder (ePB) is a free web-based system for entering and tracking energy service performance contract (ESPC) data through the life of a project. ePB was developed and is being maintained by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory on behalf of DOE.

The system is fully operational, and a number of agency-ESCO pairs have registered and plan to use the tool in developing projects. The benefits of ePB include standardized ESPC data collection, transparent calculations for project scenarios and electronic task order schedules.
