The Building Component Cost Community (BC3) database provides costs for primary building components, including walls, fenestration, equipment, and energy efficiency measures.

To capture the dynamic nature of the cost data, this database will be linked with several user-input software tools; many of the costs are represented as ranges for the user to review.
