Gap Analysis: Benchmark Energy Performance
Energy Star Portfolio ManagerBenchmarks your building against other buildings across the US
based on the EPA’s Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey(CBECS)
The performance rating is normalized based on building type, locationsize, number of occupants, and other inputs.

Gap Analysis: Water Fixture Inventory
Conduct a water fixture inventoryCompare fixture flow and flush rates to UPC/IPC standards Can use LEED submittal template to assess performance

Fundamental Tenants of Sustainable Operations
Waste
Purchases
To find out what is leaving your building, conduct a waste audit
Gap AnalysisWaste Audit & Sustainable Purchasing
What are the opportunities for purchasing?
California Integrated Waste Management Board Study
What’s possible?
Annually, nearly 34 percent (639 pounds per thousand square feet) of all materials disposed couldbe diverted through expanded paper recycling programs.

Goal Setting
Operational cost savingsA better workplace environmentTrying to meet a larger corporate initiativeThe right thing to doBuilding to tell a green story
What do we want out of our green initiative?
Maximized operational efficiencyMinimized environmental impactsRecognized, performance-based benchmarkConsistent metrics for building improvements and maintenance

LEED EBOM =
EAc1 - Reap the benefits and rake in major LEED pointsEAc2.3 – Ensure continuing performanceEAc2.2 - Implement low – no cost savingsEAc2.1 - Tease out operational and capital improvementsEAp2 - Benchmark our performanceEAp1 - Gather basic building documentation
MRc7-9 – Implement the waste management plan and get points for performance
MRp2 – Develop the waste management policy and plan
MRc6 – Conduct a waste audit to determine what’s in your waste stream
