What is ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager?

• Free, online, benchmarking tool for buildings • Tracks energy intensity, cost, emissions • Normalizes for weather, operating hours, occupant

density, and other characteristics • Offers measure of whole-building actual energy

performance via easy to understand 1 to 100 score • Provides ENERGY STAR building certification

Document and Communicate Improvements In Client Buildings

ENERGY STAR Buildings Are A Market Differentiator

Commercial Real Estate properties: • Save $.50 sq/ft (on average) • Consume 35% less energy AND • Savings persist over time • Occupancy/tenant retention is higher • Savings leveraged into higher asset

value upon disposition

Kats & Perlman, 2006

Activity Continues to Grow

Over 17,000 buildings certified as ENERGY STAR

Over 250,000 buildings benchmarked

14

• Energy costs • Corporate citizenship and recognition • Green buildings and GHG mitigation • Utility programs and Incentives • Federal government leasing requirements • Energy disclosure legislation and regulation

What’s Driving Benchmarking?

15

Purpose of disclosure: • Increase transparency of building performance • Encourage energy efficiency improvements in

buildings • Grow clean energy job market Tool: Portfolio Manager is the standard

Disclosure and Energy Benchmarking

Legislation: Driving the Market for Efficiency

21

• Free, independent, third-party government tool • National, accessible, consistent platform • Delivers whole-building energy performance based

on actual utility data • Data sharing option available

– Automated Benchmarking System (ABS) can facilitate the upload of utility data

Why Policymakers are Choosing Portfolio Manager

22

Communication channels to drive compliance: • Local and state government agencies • Building owners and managers • Universities • Associations and NGOs • Energy service providers

Driving Compliance

23

• Conduct low cost “pre-audits” of building energy use

• Identify under-performing buildings to target for energy efficiency improvements

• Establish baselines to set goals and measure progress

Beyond Compliance: Improve Building Energy Performance
