What is Benchmarking?

Benchmarking provides…
• A method to compare the energy use of
similar buildings over a given period of
time.

• The ability to conduct an “apple to apple”
comparison using data to assess a
building’s relative energy performance in
comparison to the energy intensity of other
known buildings.

EPA’s Benchmarking Tool
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA’s) ENERGY STAR®
Portfolio Manager:
• Is a free secure online energy management and tracking
tool to help commercial buildings benchmark their energy
usage
• Allows tracking and assessment of energy and water
consumption of a single building or across an entire
portfolio of buildings
• Can help a building owner or manager set investment
priorities, identify under-performing buildings, verify
efficiency improvements, and receive EPA recognition for
superior energy performance

Portfolio Manager Provides:
For All Buildings:
• A weather normalized and non-weather normalized Energy Use
Intensity (EUI) values (kbtu/square foot) and annual energy
consumption (kbtu)
• Direct, indirect and total greenhouse gas emissions
• Ability to track financial performance information
• Tools to set baselines & goals for % improvements over time
• Reports and graphs to assess trends
• Data for compliance and participation with a variety of emerging
state, local, and federal regulations and voluntary programs
For Eligible Buildings (As Defined By Portfolio Manager):
• Eligible building types can also receive an ENERGY STAR energy
performance rating of 1-100

Benefits of Benchmarking

• Identify and prioritize energy efficient
opportunities
• Verify and monitor pre- and post-project energy
use through changes in operations/equipment
• Track GHG emissions, and energy costs
• Identify under-performing facilities
• Assess effectiveness of current operations,
policies and practices
• Assist in planning: set goals, targets, and
timelines
• Compare your building’s energy use to similar
building types

AB 1103 – Nonresidential Building
Benchmarking Law
• October 2007: Governor signed AB 1103 into law
• Phase One of AB 1103
– January 1, 2009: Utilities must provide consumption
data upon request from customer
• Phase Two of AB 1103
– January 1, 2011*: Non-residential building owners are
required to disclose the U.S. EPA ENERGY STAR®
Portfolio Manager Statement of Energy Performance
and other documents created in Portfolio Manager of
the property for the sale, lease, or refinancing of an
entire building.
*Implementation of AB 1103 has been delayed from January 2011 to July 1, 2012

Draft AB 1103 Implementation Schedule

• Draft AB 1103 schedule for disclosure of benchmarking data during
sale, lease, or re-finance of an entire non-residential building
– July 1, 2012: Buildings > 50,000 square feet
– January 1, 2013: Buildings > 10,000 sq ft
– July 1 , 2013: Buildings >5,000 sq ft

Draft AB 1103 Definition of Nonresidential
Building

• “Nonresidential Building” means a building of an occupancy type
A, B, E, I-1, I-2, M, R1, S, and type U parking garages, as defined in
the California Building Code, title 24, section 302 et seq. (2007).

Nonresidential building types include but are not limited to:
– Offices - Retail and wholesale stores;
– Restaurants - Theaters
– Schools - Storage facilities
– Commercial garages
– Factories and other industrial buildings
– Churches, and other places of assembly;
– Hospitals and other health care facilities;

FAQ’s on AB 1103
• Who is responsible for benchmarking a building?
– The building owner or his/her/its authorized agent
• Would a building have to be benchmarked if one tenant in
a multi-tenant building starts a lease?
– No, AB1103 only applies to a sale, lease, or
refinancing of the entire building.
• How does AB 1103 tie into a new building permit?
– AB 1103 only applies to existing buildings (those
buildings with at least 12 months of energy usage
records).
• Is AB1103 triggered by the renewal of a lease?
– Yes, if the entire building’s lease is being renewed.

Benchmarking Helps Buildings Meet CA’s
Other Legislative Requirements
• Governor’s Executive Order & California’s Green Building
Initiative
– Mandates 20% improvement in building performance by
2015 based on 2004 baselines for state buildings.
• AB32 (The Global Warming Solutions Act)
– Requires greenhouse gas emissions tracking with its
greenhouse-tracking tool
• San Francisco Existing Commercial Buildings Energy
Performance Ordinance
– Non-residential owners report benchmarking annually
Benchmarking helps buildings earn the ENERGY STAR
label or meet the requirements for LEED certification

ENERGY STAR Commercial Buildings
Program
• ENERGY STAR is a symbol of superior energy performance
– Recognized by over 75% of Americans
• Industry Standard:
– 100,000 buildings measured energy performance

– 12,000 buildings earned the ENERGY STAR across 50 states (10” x
12” bronze plaque)

• Prevent GHG emissions equal to the electricity use of 60
million American homes every year

1-100 Energy Performance Score

FAQ: Do buildings added to the tool affect the 1 to 100
scale?
Performance of buildings added to Portfolio Manager
does not change the rating scale. Rating scale is based
on a national survey of commercial buildings.

26

Clarifications re: “Office” Space Type (cont’d)
• A building can be made up of multiple space types, ex:
office building with retail space on the first floor
– Enter as much of the building sq. footage as possible under a
single space entry if operating characteristics are similar
• Separate building into multiple spaces to describe the
operations of the facility
– Ex: Tenants with weekly operating hours that are significantly
different (i.e., > 10% different)
– Ex: Computer data center (Note: building can’t get a rating if
IT estimates are used and >10% sq. ft space)
– Ex: Retail space serving the general public – not just
employees (e.g., retail store with exterior entrance)
– Ex: Parking

27
27

Approach to Entering Vacant Space
• If vacant space averages more than 10% of the building
floor area over the past 12 months, vacant space must be
input in Portfolio Manager as a separate Office space. For
the vacant space, use the following operating
characteristics:
• Weekly Operating Hours = 0
• Workers on Main Shift = 0
• Number of PCs = 0
• Percent Heated and Percent Cooled = Report conditioning as it
occurs in the vacant space
NOTE: Space that is leased but unoccupied is also
considered to be vacant

Tracking Green Power Purchases
When entering renewable energy power purchases into Portfolio
Manager:
• Select the Generation Method:
– Biogas
– Biomass
– Geothermal
– Small Hydropower
– Solar
– Wind
• Select the location of where the green power was generated:
