Minneapolis Commercial Building Energy Rating & Disclosure Ordinance
USGBC MN Quarterly MeetingApril 15, 2014
Brendon SlotterbackSustainability Program Coordinator
What is the Commercial Building Energy Rating & Disclosure Ordinance?
Two parts…
1. Large public and commercial buildings must measure (benchmark) and report to the City energy and water performance annually
2. The City discloses results annually after a one year grace period
Use market forces, not performance or design mandates, to increase the energy efficiency of existing commercial buildings.

Provide consistent and transparent reporting of energy and water use data to current and potential owners, managers, and tenants, and the general public.

Sustainability Indicators & Targets
Promote local jobs in the building and manufacturing industries
Energy service companies in Cities with similar policies in place are seeing a 30% increase in business in response to benchmarking laws.
Build value through energy efficiency
Studies show that benchmarking promotes action, and that energy efficient buildings are more profitable and more valuable at resale.
Reduce greenhouse gas pollution
Commercial buildings equal 50% of US building energy use
and 20% of total energy use and greenhouse gases.
Commercial buildings account for roughly 35% of greenhouse
gas emissions in Minneapolis.

Reporting timeline
2013 – Public buildings only
2014– Buildings at or over 100,000 square feet
2015 – Buildings at or over 50,000 square feet
2012 Public building results• 102 buildings, 21.3 million square
feet• Great cost savings potential: a
10% reduction could save $2.5 m in energy costs.
• 50% of buildings were eligible for ENERGY STAR score
• Median score was 46, average 52• Scores and energy intensity
results vary widely• Little connection between age
and energy use intensityhttp://minneapolismn.gov/environment/energy/WCMS1P-116916
