One of the industry standards for benchmarking energy and water performance is the collection of ENERGY STAR tools. ENERGY STAR’s Portfoilio Manager can be used to benchmark the performance of one building or a whole portfolio of buildings.
ENERGY STAR’s Target Finder accounts for building and operating characteristics, such as operating hours and number of PCs, as well as 30-year weather data for the project site. It then compares this data to the actual energy consumption of real buildings, as collected by nationally representative surveys, such as DOE’s Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS).
