The City believes that benchmarking is an important best management practice and public disclosure of building energy performance promotes transparency and accountability. Sharing benchmarking data on a large scale will open up a conversation among all stakeholders and allow everyone to work toward common energy goals by recognizing and rewarding efficiency. A building’s energy efficiency score is similar to a miles per gallon (MPG) rating for cars or nutritional labels for food. With transparent scores, buyers and tenants are able to make better-informed decisions about buildings they live and work in based on energy use and estimated utility cost. More energy efficient spaces have been shown to lower energy bills, improve tenant comfort, reduce asthma rates and increase overall productivity. All these factors make energy-efficient buildings more appealing for current and prospective tenants and future buyers.

| Site Energy Use Intensity (Site EUI) | site_energ | number | Site Energy Use Intensity (Site EUI) is the annual amount of all the energy your property consumes on-site, as reported on your utility bills divided by the property square foot (kBtu/ft²). https://www.energystar.gov/buildings/facility-owners-and-managers/existing-buildings/use-portfolio-manager/understand-metrics/what-energy | 0.0 0.2 41.8 7.6 18.0 view top 100 |
| Weather Normalized Source Energy Use Intensity (Source EUI) | weather_no | number | Source EUI is the total amount of all the raw fuel required to operate your property, including losses that take place during generation, transmission, and distribution of the energy divided by the property square foot (kBtu/ft²). Weather Normalized Source Energy is the source energy use your property would have consumed during 30-year average weather conditions. For example, if 2012 was a very hot year, then your Weather Normalized Source Energy may be lower than your Source Energy Use, because you would have used less energy if it had not been so hot. https://www.energystar.gov/buildings/facility-owners-and-managers/existing-buildings/use-portfolio-manager/understand-metrics/difference https://portfoliomanager.energystar.gov/pdf/reference/US%20National%20Median%20Table.pdf | 0 2.2 40.9 100.2 5.8 view top 100 |
| Total Annual Greenhouse Gas Emissions | total_annu | number | Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions are the carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) gases released into the atmosphere as a result of energy consumption at the property. GHG emissions are expressed in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e), a universal unit of measure that combines the quantity and global warming potential of each greenhouse gas. Total Emissions is the sum of Direct Emissions and Indirect Emissions (Metric Tons CO2e). https://www.energystar.gov/buildings/facility-owners-and-managers/existing-buildings/use-portfolio-manager/understand-metrics/how | 0.0 233.9 2.5 5.1 68.90 view top 100 |
| ENERGY STAR score (if applicable) | energy_sta | number | The ENERGY STAR Score is a measure of how well your property is performing relative to similar properties, when normalized for climate and operational characteristics. The ENERGY STAR scores are based on data from national building energy consumption surveys, and this allows Portfolio Manager to control for key variables affecting a building’s energy performance, including climate, hours of operation, and building size. What this means is that buildings from around the country, with different operating parameters and subject to different weather patterns, can be compared side-by-side in order to see how they stack up in terms of energy performance. The specific factors that are included in this normalization (Hours, Workers, Climate, etc) will depend on the property type. The 1-100 scale is set so that 1 represents the worst performing buildings and 100 represents the best performing buildings. A score of 50 indicates that a building is performing at the national median, taking into account its size, location, and operating parameters. https://www.energystar.gov/buildings/facility-owners-and-managers/existing-buildings/use-portfolio-manager/identify-your-property-type-0?testEnv=false | 100 87 78 1 89 view top 100 |
