Assessing Energy Performance

What is a Benchmark?

A standardized, comparable metric of whole building energy performance.

• 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?

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

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

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

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

• 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.

Page 50: Establishing a Baseline, Energy Audits and Energy · Establishing a Baseline, Energy Audits and Energy Star’s Portfolio Manager David Tucker. ... promoting energy efficient products

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.

Page 51: Establishing a Baseline, Energy Audits and Energy · Establishing a Baseline, Energy Audits and Energy Star’s Portfolio Manager David Tucker. ... promoting energy efficient products

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.

Page 52: Establishing a Baseline, Energy Audits and Energy · Establishing a Baseline, Energy Audits and Energy Star’s Portfolio Manager David Tucker. ... promoting energy efficient products

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.

Page 53: Establishing a Baseline, Energy Audits and Energy · Establishing a Baseline, Energy Audits and Energy Star’s Portfolio Manager David Tucker. ... promoting energy efficient products

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.

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.

Be sure to hit save, and…

Congratulations, You’ve just updated portfolio manager! You are now tracking the results of your energy saving efforts!

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.
