ENERGY STAR Buildings Program:Success by the Numbers
• Measured energy performance of more than 200,000 buildings
• 5,800 organizations joined as partners
• 12,600 buildings earned the ENERGY STAR across 50 states
• Prevent GHG emissions equal to the electricity use of 60 million American homes every year
Over the past decade, through December 2010:

Buildings receiving a score (cumulative)
11 | Department of Energy Technical Assistance Program eere.energy.gov
What is Portfolio Manager?
• Free, web-based tool for benchmarking existing buildings
• Provides benchmarks for all commercial buildings, including:– ENERGY STAR energy performance score (1 to
100) for eligible buildings, and– Normalized energy use intensities (EUI) for all
buildings
• Facilitates applications for ENERGY STAR certification and Leaders recognition
12 | Department of Energy Technical Assistance Program eere.energy.gov
What is EPA’s Energy Performance Rating Scale?
• 1 to 100 score for existing commercial buildings• 50 = national average• 75 = qualification for ENERGY STAR certification
• Normalizes for weather, operating hours, occupant density, plug load
FAQ: Do buildings added to the tool affect the 1 to 100 scale?
Performance of buildings added to Portfolio Manager does not change the rating scale. Rating scale is based on a national survey of commercial buildings.

Top Five Benefits of Benchmarking with Portfolio Manager
Verify pre- and post-project energy use, GHG emissions, and energy costs
Identify under-performing facilities Assess effectiveness of current
operations, policies and practices Assist in planning: set goals, targets,
and timelines Identify billing errors
16 | Department of Energy Technical Assistance Program eere.energy.gov
Agenda
• Introduction• Portfolio Manager Overview• Portfolio Manager Demo and Slides
– Benchmarking Efficiently– Benchmarking Accurately– Reporting
17 | Department of Energy Technical Assistance Program eere.energy.gov
Data Entry Options
• Single Building Manual Entry• Enter benchmarking information into
Portfolio Manager.
• Bulk Data Upload• Upload large sets of data in Portfolio
Manager using an Excel template.
• Automated Benchmarking Services• A framework for exchanging data using
web services between the EPA’s rating system and third parties.
18 | Department of Energy Technical Assistance Program eere.energy.gov
Building Import Templates
• Mass Import Template– For initial import of 10 or more buildings of the same
type (e.g. 10+ offices, 10+ schools)– Specific Excel template for each building type
• Multi Facility Meter Update– For meters already in PM– Users select # of meters and months to update– User uploads completed spreadsheet in PM and
receives email when meters are updated
19 | Department of Energy Technical Assistance Program eere.energy.gov
Automated Benchmarking System (ABS)
• A web-based data exchange between EPA’s Portfolio Manager and third party systems.
• Third parties IT teams develop a system to exchange data based on the data exchange rules.
• Third parties send customer data to EPA. EPA sends back benchmarking results.
• Customer can view benchmarking results in third party tool or Portfolio Manager.

Is Building Eligible for Score?
Buildings to be scored require more detailed info
• Score eligibility rules:
– Must be > 5,000 sq ft (except hospitals, bank branches, data centers, and houses of worship)
– Floor area of “Other” space (e.g. library, restaurant) cannot >10% of the total area
– >50% of the floor area must fall under one eligible space type
25 | Department of Energy Technical Assistance Program eere.energy.gov
Additional Space Types Used in Benchmarking Buildings
• Parking energy use…– Is tracked on the main meter – do account for it as a
space– Is separately metered – do not account for it as space
in benchmarking• Benchmark as separate building
• Other– For space types that do not have their own rating
model (e.g., restaurant on ground floor, maintenance garage)
Rule of Thumb: Other must be less than 10% of total square
footage for building to be eligible for a rating
26 | Department of Energy Technical Assistance Program eere.energy.gov
Approach for Vacant Space
• Input vacant space as a separate Office space
• Operating characteristics:– Weekly Operating Hours = 0– Workers on Main Shift = 0– Number of PCs = 0– Percent Heated and Percent Cooled = Report conditioning as it
occurs in the vacant space
Rule of Thumb: If vacant space averages more than 10% of the building floor area over the past 12 months add it to the tool
