Energy Benchmarking
Presentation Overview
n What• Benchmarking as an Energy Management Tool
n Why• Identify savings potential• Prioritize where to look for improvements
n How• Comparison options
– Metrics– Data Sources
My Background (Biases?)
n Building Performance• Technology Demonstration• Metric Development• Commissioning• Monitoring & Verification• Energy Management• Feasibility Studies• Energy Simulations
Benchmarking - History
n Business: Total Quality Management"Benchmarking - a continuous, systematic process for evaluating the
products, services, and work processes of organizations that arerecognized as representing best practices for the purpose of
organizational improvement."
Michael J. Spendolini, The Benchmarking Book, 1992
n Identify actions to improve performance• Identify issues (metrics)• Collect Internal data (baseline)• Collect External data (comparison framework)• Analysis• Implement change• Monitor Impact
Building Energy Benchmarking
n Energy Management Tooln How am I doing?
• Relative to previous performance• Relative to portfolio• Relative to national average• Relative to a standard (“Best Practices”)

Define Performance
n A Meaningful Metric• Rich dataset for comparison
– Compare to what?– Data source?– Comparison method?
• Normalize for unmanaged characteristics
– Building Area– Building Use– Level of service
- Outdoor air volumes- Comfort- Hours of use- Etc
Metrics
n Often normalized to arean Energy Cost ($/sqft)n Energy Use (kBtu/sqft)
• Source / Site ?• Electricity / Gas ?
n Related to...• Weather, Sales (meals served, beds), service level
n Desire to include multiple factors• f (floor area, hours per week, occupants, etc)
n Change in Rank Order• Financial• No normalizing factors – stay the same
n Scale: Whole building vs system leveln Often devised based on type of available data
Self Reference
n Comparison to past performance• More of a diagnostic than a “Benchmark”, but valid
energy Management tool• Validate project impact• Can look at small sub-system

How to Use the Information?
Moving Toward Best Practice
n How is it defined?• Target Score / Rating (relative performance)• System performance (rules of thumb)
– HVAC: sf/ton, cfm/sf, hp/cfm, OA cfm/person, kw/ton– Lighting: W/sf, W/lx
• Energy Model (absolute standard)
n How is it achieved?• Look at system details• Design characteristics (changeable?)• Operational parameters (changeable?)• Management actions (changeable?)
n Implementation & Feedback

Using Benchmarking
n Benchmarking isn’t the destination,
Just the mile marker
n Benchmark only hints at potential for improvementn The benchmark is a tooln Still need to figure out where to go
• Apply expertise• Investigate systems• Devise changes• Assess performance
Summary Effective Benchmarking
n Define performance• Metrics
n Define peer group• Data set
n Define comparison method• Direct• Distribution / Rank / Score• Standard (Best Practice)
n Benchmark only gives the scoren Use information
• Investigate why• Motivate action• Confirm project impact• Manage energy use
