The EPA Energy Performance
Scale and Portfolio Manager
9
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?
Energy Performance
EPA Benchmarking
Is 80 kBtu/SF/YR high or low for a building?

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

ENERGY STAR Buildings –A Market Differentiator
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
Partner of the Year
