Energy benchmarking is an important tool for managing building energy use. At its core, benchmarking tracks energy use over time and allows comparison of energy performance to a building’s past performance and to other similar buildings. It helps identify abnormalities in energy use as well as areas for improvement. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), buildings reduce energy use by an average of 2.4% per year when benchmarking is done consistently over time.
The Better Buildings Challenge – Milwaukee program utilizes ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager® to help buildings benchmark their performance and to track participant progress for awards. The program provides educational and technical help sessions through our partner USGBC Wisconsin and sets up accounts for buildings that are eligible for assessments.
