Benchmarking

Before you take any steps to reduce your energy use, it’s helpful to build a complete picture about how your facility currently uses energy.  Benchmarking provides you with an easy way to assess and monitor your energy use.

Use ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager to Benchmark

The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager is a tool that helps you identify savings opportunities, verify energy efficiency improvements, and receive EPA recognition for exemplary energy performance.

Portfolio Manager will rank your building’s energy performance on a scale of 1 to 100. A score of 75 means your building performs better than 75% of similar buildings nationwide.

SDG&E's Automated Benchmarking Service

Once you have created your building portfolio in Portfolio Manager, you can use SDG&E’s no-cost, easy-to-use Automated Benchmarking Service to automatically send your building’s energy use information to the EPA’s ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager.
