Building Energy Quotient (bEQ) is a building energy rating program that provides information on a building's energy use
Two separate workbooks, one evaluating “As Designed” potential and the other assessing “In Operation” performance, from the foundation of bEQ
bEQ rests on ASHRAE methodologies and standards and the experience of qualified practitioners
ASHRAE Building Energy Quotient
80© Energy Solutions Center Inc. – All Rights Reserved
bEQ was developed by ASHRAE A select committee of building design and performance professionals familiar with the ENERGY STAR and European Union labeling programs created the Workbooks and established program criteria bEQ was validated using ASHRAE’s broad technical resource network consisting of building energy modeling experts, energy assessors and representatives from utilities, government, and the advocacy community
What is bEQ
81© Energy Solutions Center Inc. – All Rights Reserved
Consistent analysis of a building’s potential energy efficiency and actual energy performance Compares a building’s performance with similar buildings in similar climates Provides information to make informed decisions for managing a building’s energy use Provides recommendations for reducing energy use while screening for indoor environmental quality
