Energy Star Portfolio Manager is provided by the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) for the national evaluation of building energy performance. It uses weather-corrected data to allow comparing a building, no matter it’s location, to other similar buildings. Factors influencing building energy usage include: occupied months, occupied daily hours, type of building, occupant density, cooling and heating options, and schedules. Use Energy Star Rating to compare year-over-year energy performance.
You’ve heard it before: you can’t manage what you don’t measure. That’s why EPA created ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager®, an online tool you can use to measure and track energy and water consumption, as well as greenhouse gas emissions. Use it to benchmark the performance of one building or a whole portfolio of buildings, all in a secure online environment.
You can use Portfolio Manager to manage the energy and water use of any building. All you need are your energy bills and some basic information about your building to get started.
Are you designing a new commercial building? You can also use Portfolio Manager to set your energy use target and see how your estimated design energy stacks up against similar existing buildings nationwide.
