Free Site Signal and Water Signal tools eliminate hours of work on assessment requirements

SAVANNAH, Ga., Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Green Badger, builder of the AECO industry’s leading software platform accelerating sustainable design and construction, today announced major platform advancements and free AI-powered tools, creating the only solution that automates time-consuming work on sustainable construction projects from design to delivery.

The all-new user interface integrates Green Badger’s entire suite of solutions into a single platform with faster, smarter sustainability workflows, with AI playing a heavier role in automating processes for greater project efficiency. Site Signal and Water Signal, Green Badger’s new AI-powered tools, will help architects and designers quickly meet new sustainability requirements in a few simple steps.

Sustainability assessments in minutes, not days

LEED v5 requires project teams to complete climate resilience, human impact, and carbon assessments before design decisions are made, each typically tying up hours of manually pulling data from a lot of different public sources. Green Badger’s free Signals tools automate all of it in just a few minutes.

Site Signal
By simply entering a project address (adding building characteristics is optional), Site Signal pulls data from the U.S. Census Bureau, FEMA, NOAA and CDC data sources via API, and pre-populates official LEED v5 D+C planning workbooks. It also creates a Methodology & Review Brief with detailed design considerations and remaining action items for the project team.

“Nobody wants to spend days assembling census tables and climate data just to satisfy a prerequisite,” said Tommy Linstroth, CEO and founder of Green Badger. “Site Signal does that work, from an address to finished forms, in just a few minutes so design teams can refocus their time on the critical decisions.”

Water Signal
Water Signal helps project teams meet indoor, outdoor and whole-building water requirements in both LEED v4 and v5. Project teams enter basic occupancy, landscape, and irrigation data, and the tool automatically calculates baseline and design water use, annual savings, percentage reductions, and potential LEED points. Users can test different fixture tiers, compare irrigation strategies, and incorporate alternative water sources early in the design process to easily align their strategies with specific LEED reduction targets.

Both tools are available at no cost at https://getgreenbadger.com/resource/signals/.

Now one Green Badger platform, from design through verification

Alongside the new AI tools, Green Badger released a completely new user experience that brings its full suite into a single platform, encompassing LEED 2009, LEED v4, LEED v5, the AIA Materials Pledge, ESG reporting and embodied carbon tracking.

“Green Badger continues to innovate to meet our clients’ evolving needs, and this platform encapsulates more than a decade of our knowledge serving the world’s largest design and construction firms,” Linstroth said. “Now, from initial design through verification, teams have one unified place to automate sustainability.”

The transition will be seamless for current users, providing a clearer, faster and easier-to-navigate platform. Finding compliant products is also quicker thanks to an upgraded product search and database query engine that lets users filter attributes, save custom searches and tap into an expanded database. Other enhancements include:

• Streamlined collaboration: Greater controls for subcontractor management, updated permission roles, in-app commenting and immediate notifications.
• Enhanced log management: Advanced sorting, filtering and customization options provide full operational visibility across all system logs.
• Redesigned mobile app: The upgraded app is engineered for speed, giving field teams complete control from mobile devices to upload supporting documents and photographs, log waste, and more.

AI LEED documentation without opening the submittal

Green Badger also greatly enhanced “Baili,” the industry’s first AI-powered LEED consultant and platform support assistant, which can now read a user’s uploaded standard construction submittal and identify every product it contains. It then matches each product to Green Badger’s database of verified green construction products, and completes the associated LEED documentation automatically, with no manual review of the submittal required.

What early users are saying

Both tools were available to select customers while in development and have received very positive feedback. Summer Minchew, LEED Fellow and Managing Partner at Ecoimpact Consulting, said after testing Site Signal, “This is incredible – thank you for providing this resource; it is going to be a game-changer for LEED practitioners.”

“Green Badger’s a fascinating story and has created what I believe to be the best LEED tools on the market,” said Dave Hubka, LEED Fellow and Practice Leader and Sustainability Associate at EUA.

Green Badger will demonstrate the new tools at Greenbuild 2026, Oct. 20–23 at the Javits Center in New York, booth #1218.
