This document discusses ENERGY STAR building ratings and Portfolio Manager. It provides background on ENERGY STAR, the launch of Portfolio Manager in 2000, and how it is used to benchmark and rate over 260,000 commercial buildings. Buildings can receive a score from 1 to 100 in Portfolio Manager and those scoring 75 or higher may qualify for ENERGY STAR certification. Various types of buildings are eligible for ratings, and 12 months of utility data without gaps over 65 days is required to receive a rating.

Editor's Notes
- 1992: including personal computers and monitors
- Portfolio Manager is used to determine if a building qualifies for the Energy Star Label. Buildings’ energy consumption is compared with their peers: buildings of similar size, function/use type, climate zone, age. Scale of 0 (worst) to 100 (best). A building with a score of 50 means that half of the similar buildings use more energy per sq ft, and half use less energy per sq ft. Buildings with score of 75 (using less energy than ¾ of their peers, in the top quartile of energy efficiency) or higher can apply for Energy Star certification.
- Maybe show a slide of cities/states where ESTAR ratings have been mandated by legislation. Two states and seven cities (CA and WA state,WashDC, Austin TX, NYC, Seattle, San Francisco, Philadelphia, and soon Minneapolis) – more are coming (www.buildingrating.org) Typically require benchmarking for non-residential buildings of more than 50,000 sq ft, public buildings greater than 10,000 sq ft.According to the EPA, ENERGY STAR rated buildings use 35% less energy and are responsible for 35% less GHG than average buildings“Executive commitment” is a key, according to EPA
- Ratings and informational. (i.e. you get EUI and carbon footprint but not a rating
- Even if a rating can’t be achieved, still useful for EUI (Energy Use Intensity – sq ft energy consumption) and green house gas emission calculations – and also for compliance if required by local legislation
- PM was revamped in June 2013. It was a bit rocky for them, it took several weeks longer than expected and as with other recent government software releases, it had some pretty significant bugs. But we were determined to work through the issues, and after several months of working closely with the EPA’s software contractor, we were able to restore our ABS link to PM, but not without having to make some significant changes to the submittal process. First, lets review how to set up buildings for submission in EnergyCAP, this is the first step. START DEMO HERE _ sj_temple Philly benchmarking buildings 50,000 sqft or larger
