What is UBIN™?

Much like a CUSIP for investments or a VIN for vehicles, UBIN™ creates a persistent, unique identifier for each property, enabling data about that building to be collected, verified, organized, and shared with confidence. 

By anchoring building data to UBIN™, Backpack is creating a single source of truth for building data– from equipment inventories and energy use to compliance records and performance history. 

UBIN™ not only increases transparency and trust across the built environment, it also unlocks the ability to monetize building data, opening up new revenue streams and driving smarter decision-making across the industry.
