ENERGY STAR Buildings Are A Market Differentiator
Commercial Real Estate properties: • 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

Activity Continues to Grow
Over 17,000 buildings certified as ENERGY STAR
Over 250,000 buildings benchmarked
14
• Energy costs • Corporate citizenship and recognition • Green buildings and GHG mitigation • Utility programs and Incentives • Federal government leasing requirements • Energy disclosure legislation and regulation
What’s Driving Benchmarking?
15
Purpose of disclosure: • Increase transparency of building performance • Encourage energy efficiency improvements in
buildings • Grow clean energy job market Tool: Portfolio Manager is the standard

Legislation: Driving the Market for Efficiency
21
• Free, independent, third-party government tool • National, accessible, consistent platform • Delivers whole-building energy performance based
on actual utility data • Data sharing option available
– Automated Benchmarking System (ABS) can facilitate the upload of utility data
Why Policymakers are Choosing Portfolio Manager
22
Communication channels to drive compliance: • Local and state government agencies • Building owners and managers • Universities • Associations and NGOs • Energy service providers
Driving Compliance
23
• Conduct low cost “pre-audits” of building energy use
• Identify under-performing buildings to target for energy efficiency improvements
• Establish baselines to set goals and measure progress
Beyond Compliance: Improve Building Energy Performance
