In less than a week, performance metrics for all building types will be updated in Portfolio Manager, including 1-100 Energy Star scores and other source energy metrics.
These new metrics will be applied across all time periods, which means your scores and metrics for all historical benchmarking data will change. Once this happens, EPA will not be able to provide "before and after" score changes for individual buildings or portfolios.
If you anticipate needing to document changes,
it is strongly recommended that you document your pre-update scores and download your data now. You may need them for third-party certifications, local mandates, or other incentive programs.
Visit the Portfolio Manager to get started. Learn more at
energystar.gov/scoreupdates.

On the Blog: Don't Buy Another Lie - No to ReBuild Houston
How ReBuild Houston Isn't Rebuilding Houston
ReBuild Houston was supposed to be a "lockbox" of sorts to hold the drainage fee monies collected and
to ensure those funds were utilized only for streets and drainage. But the promises of the money not being used for any other purpose has been a
flat out lie. There's no way to sugar coat what has happened to the nearly
$1 billion, yes billion with a B, of citizen's hard- earned money.
Read our blog to learn about the fund and how it has been used for other projects instead of solving our drainage problem.
