What is Better Buildings?
In February 2011, President Obama, building upon the investments of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, announced the Better Buildings Initiative to make buildings 20% more energy efficient over the next 10 years and accelerate private sector investment in energy efficiency.

Why was it created?
Question: how much does the U.S. spend to power commercial buildings each year?
Answer: about $200 billion!
Bonus: How much do people in the US pay to power manufacturing facilities?
Answer: another $200 billion
Question: How much energy do buildings (residential and commercial) use as a percentage of total US energy use?
Answer: about 40%
Bonus: How much electricity to residential and commercial buildings use as a percentage of the US total?
Answer: about 70%
Every building can be better

Better Buildings Alliance
Through the Better Buildings Alliance, members in different market sectors identify specific barriers and work with the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) to develop and deploy innovative, cost-effective, energy-saving solutions that lead to better technologies, more profitable businesses, and better buildings in which we work, shop, eat, stay, and learn.
Installation of night curtainsWhole Foods Market, a BBA member, installed night curtains to cover the refrigerated produce cases when stores are closed. This strategy lowers the cooling load on the refrigeration case by about 40% during unoccupied periods.

Better Buildings Challenge
The Better Buildings Challenge is a voluntary leadership initiative that asks leading CEOs and executives of U.S. companies, universities, and state and local governments to make a public commitment of energy efficiency.
Through the Better Buildings Challenge, the U.S. Department of Energy is highlighting leaders that have committed to upgrading buildings and plants across their portfolio and providing their energy savings data and strategies as models for others to follow.

Better Buildings Challenge:What partners agree to
1. Set a public goal (minimum 20% over 10 years*)
2. Share transparent examples describing:
What they’ve done (showcase projects): Buildings in which they
have achieved significant energy savings
How they’ve done it (implementation models or “playbooks”): real-
world, successful approached they’ve used to overcome barriers
3. Report on progress
*or 2% savings annually if eligible due to high portfolio turn-over

Better Buildings Energy Data Accelerator
Building owners need information about energy use in order to measure and manage it. However, many building owners cannot access this information.
Through the Better Buildings Energy Data Accelerator local governments are joining forces with their local utilities to make it easier for building owners to get access to whole-building energy usage data for the purposes of benchmarking their buildings. Partners agree to demonstrate streamlined, best-practice
approaches for building owners to access whole-building energy usage data—with a specific focus on providing information for multi-tenant buildings.
Throughout 2014 and 2015, Partners are convening local stakeholders to overcome key technical barriers, upgrading energy data systems, and designing and piloting systems in their areas.
Through these efforts, Partners have committed to put systems in place to provide whole building data to at least 20 percent of commercial and/or multi-family building owners by the end of 2015.

Additional Better Buildings Challenge FAQ
Q. I’d like to join but can’t commit to 20% over 10 years due to building turn-over. Is there an alternative option?
A: Yes, if you experience more than 5% turn over a year on average you can sign up for an alternative goal of 2% per year average efficiency improvement
Q. I own some buildings and just manage others. Do I have to include the buildings I manage too?
A: DOE encourages but does not require you to include managed buildings if you do not pay the energy bills, have control over energy efficiency upgrades, and/or have access to energy use data.
Q. I want to sign up but I’m having trouble getting access to the energy consumption data paid directly by my tenants. Do I need to include these buildings?
A. Contact DOE to discuss the situation and learn more about the Better Buildings Energy Data Accelerator which is working to help multitenant building owners secure access to aggregated whole-building energy consumption data so they can benchmark their buildings.
