The Automated Benchmarking Tool is your next step to optimizing energy usage in your building!
Benchmark scoring allows building owners and property managers to create a numerical score to quantify their building’s energy performance. The ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager is the industry standard for this type of benchmark scoring. Although Portfolio Manager is user-friendly, users can sometimes be burdened by the challenge of entering and updating the required 12 months of energy consumption data, especially in structures with multiple meters.
This is why BGE has developed the automated and secure Automated Benchmarking Tool that will "push" this energy consumption data directly to the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. The tool will help you, from start to finish, aggregate your building’s usage data into a single virtual meter that can be used in Portfolio Manager to generate your benchmark score.
For buildings that have five or more tenants, energy usage data will be automatically aggregated. However, for buildings that have fewer than five tenants you will need to download the consent form and get authorization from each of the tenants.
Already using the BGE Automated Benchmarking Tool? Any time there are any changes in tenant occupancy or account information, you must update the building in order to generate the most accurate benchmarking score and to keep the consent form up to date.
