Benchmarking process 1. Partner works with CLEAResult to collect
building information and utility data 2. CLEAResult verifies accuracy of data 3. CLEAResult enters data into our
database* and the EPA’s Portfolio Manager Database** to create regional and national benchmarks
4. Benchmarking report created and individual facility benchmarks included in Appendix
*CLEAResult’s database includes 11,500 buildings **CBECS’ database includes 5,215 buildings
BENEFITS OF BENCHMARKING

Conclusion • Do we have the support of our decision makers? • If not, how do we gain their support?
Planning & Decision Making
• How do I currently track my energy use and cost?
• Could I run a report if asked today?
Evaluation, Assessment & Monitoring
• Do we have funding in our 2015 budget for energy efficiency improvements?
• If not, why?
Funding Energy Efficiency
• How often do we walk our buildings at night? • What is the process to request after hours
facility use? Facility Operations
• How do we involve teachers and students? • Do we have a recognition program for our
custodians? Energy Awareness
