Who can give me some
examples of benchmarking?
www.efcnetwork.org
7/23/2013
• Heighten awareness of energy use
• Assess effectiveness of current operations,
policies, practices
• Set priorities for upgrade efforts and retrofits
• Track, verify, and recognize achievements
• Document role in environmental stewardship
and demonstrate success
Why Benchmark?
www.efcnetwork.org
7/23/2013
Energy Benchmarking
• Allows you to gauge your buildings’ efficiency by:
– Comparing buildings across your organization – Comparing buildings to national averages – Comparing individual buildings from year-to-year
• Provides the first step to developing an energy efficiency plan and a mechanism for tracking

Energy Benchmarking
Building age is not an indicator of energy use.
www.efcnetwork.org
7/23/2013
Comparative Metric Is 60 MPG high or low for this automobile?
Is 90 kBtu/SF/YR high or low for this building?
Fuel Efficiency: MPG
Energy Performance Rating: 1 to 100
www.efcnetwork.org
7/23/2013
National Energy Performance Rating System
100 1 25 50 75 Energy Performance Rating
Energy Use Highest Lowest
The rating system overlays a 1 to 100 scale
over national data, giving relative meaning to energy use

Identifying Opportunities:
Basics of Conducting an Energy Audit
• Scope • Energy/utility bill review – Before site visit
• Plot the usage data – does it make sense? • Check rate schedule – other “add-ons” • Benchmarking
• Have the right people on the team • Data collection – on site • Target energy uses
• Process/motors, HVAC, lighting
• Getting the questions answered • Recommendations • Financial analysis – cost, savings, payback

Detailed Assessment Report - Examples
Savings – Switching of hallway lights
Estimated hours lights could be switched off: Weekends hrs = 10 hrs/day X 2 days X 52 weeks = 1,040 hrs. Schools out hours = 10 hrs/day X 5 days X 10 weeks = 500 hrs. Total hours = 1,040 + 500 = 1,540 hrs. Cost Savings = 3 hallways X 23 fixtures X 75% switched off X .112 kwd/fixture X 1,540 hrs/year = 8,926 kWh X $.084 kWh = $750 Yr.
Costs
Costs = TBD. A very rough estimate is $400 per hallway, or $800.
Payback Period = $800/$750 = 13 months

Portfolio Manager
• Creates benchmark scores for many types of
facilities
• Normalizes scores based on facility
characteristics
• Tracks long-term trends in energy use and
cost
• Produces ready-made reports for
management and customers
www.efcnetwork.org
7/23/2013
Portfolio Manager
• With Portfolio Manager, you can: • Benchmark your facility relative to past energy
performance.
• Enter your facility data, save it, and share it with
others inside or outside of your organization.
• Enter operating characteristics, tailored to each
space-use category within your facility.
• Track multiple energy and water meters, pumps,
motors, and other equipment for each facility.
• Monitor energy and water costs, viewing percent
improvement across time.
www.efcnetwork.org
7/23/2013
The Portfolio Manager Score
• A high score means:
– Your plant likely has implemented more best
practices than other plants similar to yours
– In other words, you are doing well with what you
have.
• A high score does not mean:
– Your plant is more efficient than every plant with a
lower score
– Your plant is energy efficient

How to Use Portfolio Manager
If you’ve entered the home screen, click on “Access My Portfolio”. Once you’ve entered the Portfolio screen, it should look something like this.
www.efcnetwork.org
7/23/2013
You can return to this view from anywhere in portfolio manager by clicking on the “My Portfolio” link circled above.
How to Use Portfolio Manager
www.efcnetwork.org
7/23/2013
To Enter Flow Data:
From the My Portfolio View, scroll down to the GROUP section and click the link to you
facility. In this example, we will use the facility “EXP 1”.
www.efcnetwork.org
7/23/2013
Scroll down to the SPACE USE section and click on the space name you’ve assigned to your plant. In this case, there is only one space, “EXP 1”.
How to Use Portfolio Manager
www.efcnetwork.org
7/23/2013
Now, scroll down to the section titled
“Required for Benchmarking Average Influent Flow Meter”
and click on the link circled below.
How to Use Portfolio Manager

SAMPLE of Entered Data –
Click the
“Add Meter Entries” link – to Enter the Number of Months of data
Date Sequence
www.efcnetwork.org
7/23/2013
• Portfolio Manager will create a table for you to add the data. Add the flow
data from your MORs in the appropriate fields. You may change the date
ranges if you think it is appropriate.
www.efcnetwork.org
7/23/2013
Select the number of months of data you wish to add. In this example,
we will add everything from September 2011 to April 2012, a total of
8 months.
When you have selected the desired number of months, hit continue.
www.efcnetwork.org
7/23/2013
When you have added the flow data, hit save and you will be returned
to the table from Step 4. If you wish to add electrical meter data at this
time, follow the instructions below. Click the “My Portfolio” link shown
in Step 3 and follow the instructions below.
Adding Electrical Meter Data:
From the “My Portfolio” view, click on your facility under the GROUP
section as you did in Step 3 above. We will continue using the EXP 1
facility in this example.
www.efcnetwork.org
7/23/2013
Next, scroll down to the “Energy Meters” section. You may have more
than one meter listed. In this example there is only one meter. If you
need to add additional data from other meters, you will have to add
the data for each meter individually by repeating the steps in this
section. Click on the first meter that you would like to add data to.
www.efcnetwork.org
7/23/2013
If you do have more than one meter, make sure the bills you are using to enter the data match the meter you have selected. This may be done by matching the data in portfolio manager to previous energy bills. If the name of the meter is confusing, consider changing the meter name to the meter number listed on the bill. You can do this by clicking on the “Edit” link at the top of the page.
How to Use Portfolio Manager
www.efcnetwork.org
7/23/2013
From this point, adding energy data is very similar to adding flow data. You will click the “Add Meter Entries” link, and select the number of months you wish to add. Be aware that the Start Date and End Date may not match the billing dates from your energy bill. This is acceptable because Portfolio Manager uses your annual energy use to calculate the benchmark score. However, you should use caution to continue whatever convention is in place so that there are no gaps or overlaps between periods.
www.efcnetwork.org
7/23/2013
Be sure to hit save, and…
Congratulations, You’ve just updated portfolio manager! You are now tracking the results of your energy saving efforts!
www.efcnetwork.org
7/23/2013
Summary Thoughts
• Portfolio Manager is a useful tool for
tracking energy data
• The score changes as you add data, so
keep it updated!
• Use caution when comparing your scores
with those of other facilities.
