About CalgreenCX

Built on expertise. Driven by results.

For over 18 years, CalgreenCX has partnered with California government agencies to deliver rigorous commissioning oversight and LEED certification management — on time, on budget, and to the highest technical standard.

Our mission

Advancing sustainable, high-performance buildings for California's public sector.

We exist to close the gap between design intent and operational reality. Every system we commission, every certification we manage, and every report we deliver is grounded in one commitment: buildings that perform as promised — for the agencies that own them and the communities that depend on them.

How we got here

CalgreenCX was founded in 2006 by a team of licensed mechanical engineers who saw a persistent problem in California public construction: buildings that earned certifications on paper but underperformed in practice.

We built our practice around independent verification — third-party commissioning that holds every system accountable to its design specifications, not just its permit drawings. Over time, that reputation for rigor attracted larger and more complex government projects.

Today we operate across the full project lifecycle, from pre-design energy modeling through post-occupancy performance verification, serving school districts, municipal utilities, transit agencies, and state departments throughout California.

Our values

What guides our work

01

Technical rigor

We verify every system against its design intent. No shortcuts, no assumptions — only documented, defensible results.

02

Public accountability

Government projects are funded by taxpayers. We treat every dollar of public money with the same scrutiny we apply to every BTU.

03

Independent perspective

As a third-party commissioning authority, our loyalty is to the owner — not the contractor, not the design team, not the schedule.

04

Continuous learning

LEED standards evolve. California energy codes evolve. We invest in ongoing education so our clients always benefit from current best practice.
