Energy Star : Performance Tracking
Green Buildings & Energy Efficiency
ENERGY STAR has developed several tools and guidelines for energy savings. Their Web site has a tool to help you rate energy performance on a scale of 1-100 relative to similar buildings nationwide using EPA’s Portfolio Manager.
Portfolio Manager is an interactive energy management tool that allows you to track and assess energy and water consumption across your entire portfolio of buildings in a secure online environment. Whether you own, manage, or hold properties for investment, Portfolio Manager can help you set investment priorities, identify under-performing buildings, verify efficiency improvements, and receive EPA recognition for superior energy performance.
EPA’s Target Finder lets users establish an energy performance target for design projects and major building renovations. By entering a project’s estimated energy consumption, users can generate an energy performance rating based on the same rating system applied to existing buildings. Outstanding projects are eligible for EPA recognition.
