What is ENERGY STAR?
 A government-backed, voluntary program
that helps businesses and individuals protect
the environment through superior energy
performance by providing energy-efficient
solutions for homes, businesses, and
institutions.
 The national symbol for environmental
protection through energy efficiency,
recognized by more than 70% of all U.S.
households.
Be a Leader – Change Our
Environment for the Better
U.S. EPA’s ENERGY STAR®
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) can help you with
buildings and plants to:
• Reduce energy waste
• Reduce GHG emissions
• Protect the environment
ENERGY STAR Qualified Products
Opportunities in Buildings
 Commercial buildings and industrial facilities
generate about 50 percent of U.S. carbon
dioxide emissions.
 30 percent of energy consumed in
commercial and industrial buildings is
wasted.
 Reductions of 10 percent in energy use can
be possible with little or no cost.
National and Local Recognition
 ENERGY STAR Partner
 Designed to Earn the
ENERGY STAR
 The ENERGY STAR for Existing Buildings
 ENERGY STAR Leaders
 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year

Number of Buildings
Energy Performance Gap
Top performing
buildings use 3 to 4
times less energy
per ft2 than the
worst performers.
39 percent of
buildings
with a rating
of 75 or
better are
less than 25
years old
42 percent of
buildings
with a rating
between 25
and 74 are
less than 25
years old

Benchmarking
Benchmarking through ENERGY STAR
allows you to compare:
• One building against a national sample of
similar buildings
• Compare your buildings against other
VEPGA members’ buildings
• All of your buildings of a similar type to each
other
• Your building’s current performance against
its past and/or baseline performance
Benchmarking
Portfolio Manager
 Benchmark the energy use of all of your buildings –
receive an energy use intensity (EUI). Many buildings
are eligible to receive energy performance ratings on a
1-100 scale.
 Track changes in energy and water use over time in
single buildings, groups of buildings, or entire portfolios.
 Track and report cost savings and GHG emissions.
 Apply for the ENERGY STAR.

Track Progress Over Time
• Set a baseline and monitor energy efficiency
improvements over time
• View percent improvement in weather-normalized
energy use intensity.
• Track reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
• Monitor energy and water costs
By building
Portfolio-wide
Document Savings Results
• Provide transparency and accountability to help demonstrate
strategic use of capital improvement funding.
• Quickly and accurately demonstrate savings for an individual
building or entire portfolio:
– Energy use
– GHG emissions
– Water use
– Energy costs
• Download performance metrics from Portfolio Manager into Excel.
• Generate a Statement of Energy Performance (SEP) for each
building, summarizing important performance indicators, including
energy intensity and GHG emissions.
• Generate an Energy Performance Report showing reductions in key
indicators over a user-specified time period.
Visit www.energystar.gov/benchmark to get started
Required Information for
Benchmarking in Portfolio Manager
• Building Identifiers
Name, street address, zip code for weather normalization
• Space Type Data (depends on space type)
– Other Space Types: Total Floor Area
– Office: Square footage, hours of operation, Number of workers on
main shift , # of PC’s, Percent of gross floor area that is air
conditioned, heated
• Energy Use
– Bldg specific invoice information from all purchased energy. Begin
with at least 11 consecutive months for each source and update
with monthly usage data.
Benchmarking Methods
• Single Building Manual Entry
•
Enter building and energy consumption information into
Portfolio Manager.
• Bulk Data Upload
•
Upload large sets of building data in Portfolio Manager
using an Excel template.

Greenhouse Gas Inventory and
Tracking in Portfolio Manager
•
•
•
•
•
Energy use in C&I buildings in the US contribute more
than 45% of our national emissions
CO2, CH4, and N2O are the principal GHGs emitted from
fossil fuels
Electricity consumption in these buildings is responsible
for roughly three-quarters of these GHGs
Remainder resulting from burning natural gas and
petroleum products
CO2 represents more than 99% of the total GHG
emissions, and CH4 and N2O represents less than 1%
Portfolio Manager GHG
Accounting and Tracking
• Designed to provide users with the ability to
record, track, and communicate the GHG
emissions associated with the energy use of their
buildings.
• Consistent with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol

ABS Steps and Resources
• Overview on ENERGY STAR web site
• Register for ABS account
• Download ABS Overview and Users Guide
from ABS account Web site
• Email technical question to
[email protected]
• Request conference calls with EPA
program and technical support teams
Master Accounts
• Objective: Portfolio Manager that need to oversee or
access large portfolios of facilities
• Process:
•
•
•
•
Institution creates a Master Account
Master Account appears in a public registry
Individual users can share facilities with Master Account
Master Account holder can view progress for all facilities that have been
shared
Master Account Concept:
Large Portfolio Management
Virginia Counties (Potential for a large
VA database)
Potential VEPGA (VA)
Database
• 95 Counties
• 850 Cities
VEPGA Master Account
Concept
VEPGA Master Account
combines all buildings
benchmarked by members
Each government shares
these buildings with
