“Portfolio Manager”… A Quick and Easy Start To Benchmarking

Use of Portfolio Manager

You’ve heard it before: you can’t manage what you don’t measure. That’s why EPA created ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager®, an online tool you can use to measure and track energy and water consumption, as well as greenhouse gas emissions. Use it to benchmark the performance of one building or a whole portfolio of buildings, all in a secure online environment.

Not sure if Portfolio Manager is for you? It is!

You can use Portfolio Manager to manage the energy and water use of any building. Seriously. Any building. K-12 school? Check. Office building? Check. Stadium? Check. We could keep going.  All you need are your energy bills and some basic information about your building to get started.

Join the rest of the industry.

When you add your buildings, you’ll be joining 40 percent of U.S. commercial building space that’s already benchmarked in Portfolio Manager — making it the de facto industry standard. You’ll also be joining 35 percent of the Fortune 500®, half of the largest U.S. healthcare organizations, major league sports teams, colleges and universities, and entire cities.

It’s only growing.

And it’s on the move. Portfolio Manager is the tool of choice among cities such as New York, Seattle, and Boston that have passed mandatory benchmarking laws. Not only that, but Portfolio Manager is used by the Canadian Government as the platform for their national energy benchmarking program for existing commercial and institutional buildings.

Use Portfolio Manager to help you manage your energy and water consumption.
