What is Energy Benchmarking?

Category: Benchmarking

Energy Benchmarking is the process of measuring and tracking a building’s energy use over time. By using certain building
characteristics along with monthly consumption data, owners and occupants can begin to understand how their building is
performing on an operational level compared to similar buildings in their community and around the country. The free web
based tool from U.S. EPA’s ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager is the widely accepted standard for benchmarking.
