The AIM Report Measures

The full library of measures for the current version of the AIM Report software includes the measures listed below. Based on the properties of the user's building, AIM identifies the applicable measures and calculates estimated savings and costs for each. Users can then build a package of measures for their building.

The list has been updated with the set of measures added to AIM in October 2026.
