The EPA Energy Performance

Scale and Portfolio Manager

Standardized Metric

Until recently, a standardized,

comparable metric of whole building

energy performance did not exist

EPA introduced the

Energy Performance Scale

in 1999 to meet this need

Is Your Building Performing Well?

Fuel Efficiency

MPG

Is 18 MPG high or low for an automobile?

Top Benefits of Energy Benchmarking

• Establish a baseline energy performance score for each property

• Set goals • Measure and verify improvements – financial and

environmental• Prioritize investments• Identify lessons learned and apply across portfolio• Earn the ENERGY STAR• Earn recognition from BOMA and others for

environmental and operational excellence

Commercial Real Estate properties that earn the ENERGY STAR label:

• Save $.50 sq/ft (on average)

• Consume 35% less energy

AND

• Savings persist over time

• Occupancy/tenant retention is higher

• Savings leveraged into higher asset value upon disposition

Kats & Perlman, 2006

ENERGY STAR Leaders

• Superior energy management is a leading indicator of overall organizational management

• ENERGY STAR Leaders recognizes partners that demonstrate superior energy management through organization-wide continuous improvement:– Reduce normalized energy use by 10%, 20%, 30%

(or more)

AND/OR– Achieve a portfolio-wide score of 75 or higher
