Achieving sustainability goals requires more than good intentions – it demands the right tools. That’s where EPA’s ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager® comes in. The no-cost, user-friendly energy management tool is designed to securely track and assess energy and water use, waste and materials, and greenhouse gas emissions across your building portfolio. With features tailored to prioritize investments, identify inefficiencies, and drive sustainable performance, ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager equips businesses with essential tools for success in sustainability initiatives.
Key Benefits
One standout benefit of ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager is its ability to compare your building’s performance to similar structures in terms of location, size, and use. By inputting utility usage data and firmographics such as building size, location, industry, and purpose, the tool analyzes your building’s energy efficiency and benchmarks it against comparable structures. This allows for a more accurate assessment of your building’s performance and enables targeted improvements.
Key Features
Portfolio Manager offers a range of features tailored to meet diverse business needs – all that’s needed is property information, property use details, and at least 12 months of consumption data for resources you want to track. By entering these details, you can:
- Assess whole building energy performance.
- Track changes in energy, water, waste, greenhouse gas emissions, and costs over time.
- Track green power purchases.
- Report to jurisdictions for meeting benchmark compliance requirements.
- Utilize hundreds of metrics already converted by Portfolio Manager.
