Tools For Benchmarking and Tracking Energy Use
ICBA ENERGY STAR Partnership: Meeting the ENERGY STAR® Challenge
• In December 2007, ICBA and EPA’s ENERGY STAR Program announced the launch of their Energy Efficiency Partnership
• Purpose is to help banks improve the energy efficiency of their buildings and save money
• ICBA and ENERGY STAR will recognize banks that achieve annual energy savings of 10% or higher
4 Easy Steps to Energy Savings
Step 1: Join ENERGY STARTake the first step to making your bank more energy efficient by joining the ENERGY STAR Small Business Network at www.energystar.gov/smallbiz
Step 2: Measure Your Energy UseUse ENERGY STAR’s Portfolio Manager tool to enter your monthly energy use and to track your energy use over time. Login at www.energystar.gov/benchmark
Step 3: Develop and Implement Your PlanUse the many technical resources available from ENERGY STAR to learn about energy-efficiency opportunities, formulate an action plan for improving your banks, and implement your plan.
Step 4: Earn RecognitionRecognition as a leader in reducing energy consumption can send a powerful message to today’s environmentally minded consumer.
Step 2: Why Benchmark?
Community banks should know and understand the following:
– How much energy is used?
– What am I spending on utilities?
– How does this compare to other businesses?
• Why Benchmark
• Why ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager
• Learning to use ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager
Key Points
Why Property Operators are Benchmarking
Pursue improvements in energy efficiencyEstablish a point of reference from which to
make comparisonsBaseline
Learning to Use Portfolio Manager
• Perceived barriers to benchmarking – I do not know how
– Time consuming
– Gaining access to required data
Perceived Barrier: I Don’t Know How
• Energystar.gov/benchmark– EPA conducts free live web seminars– Pre-recorded web seminars– System tour of the tool– Frequently asked questions– Quick Reference Guides
• Building Benchmarking Starter Kit
Perceived Barrier: Benchmarking is Time Consuming
Estimated time = 1 – 2 ½ hours
Phase I. Initial Benchmarking– Data collection—up to 1-2 hours*– Data input—15-30 minutes
Phase II. Monthly updates– 5 to 15 minutes
* Up to 2 weeks longer if multiple departments are managers of required data.
Perceived Barrier: Gaining Access to Required Data
• Tracking these data points is a core element of good overall management strategies
• Required data varies with building type, core data for competent building management– Building square footage – One year (minimum) monthly energy consumption from
each source (e.g. electricity and natural gas)– Zip code– Occupancy rates– Occupancy hours– Computers or other key equipment (only for rateable
spaces)
Why Benchmark with ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager
• Simple metrics– Energy Utilization Index (EUI) for All businesses – 1 to100 rating for some businesses
• Analytical tool based on statistical analysis– National peer comparison– Unbiased– Emissions estimates based on location
• Comprehensive development process with periodic updates– Extensive research—EPA, DOE, NOAA
• Industry standard– 4+ billion sf has been benchmarked using Portfolio Manager
• Internationally recognized symbol of superior energy performance and environmental protection
• Manage Energy Consumption for All Buildings• Efficient management of resources requires effective
data management. Portfolio Manager helps you streamline your portfolio’s energy data, and track key consumption, performance, and cost information portfolio-wide. For example, you can:– Track multiple energy meters for each facility – Customize meter names and key information – Benchmark your facilities relative to their past performance – View percent improvement in weather-normalized source
energy – Monitor energy costs – Share your building data with others inside or outside of your
organization

Other Portfolio Manager Features
• Track Campaigns through Master Accounts
• Identify Percent Energy Reduction
• Request a Statement of Energy Performance Facility Summary Report
Tracking Campaigns
• Objective: Allow associations/states to track progress of campaign participants.
• Process– Association 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
Percent Energy Reduction
• Objective: Provide a metric to show a percent change in energy use over time– Creates tracking capability for non-ratable spaces
• Process: – No additional information required from user– The tool compares energy use between two
periods adjusting for weather only
Step 4: Earn Recognition
• Banks with a rating of 75 or greater are eligible to become an ENERGY STAR labeled Bank
• Banks that document energy reductions of 10% or more will be recognized
• Banks may also apply for ENERGY STAR Small Business Awards
• Recognition as a leader in reducing energy consumption can send a powerful message to today’s environmentally minded consumer
