Benchmarking 101: ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager Training
Date: January 23rd, 2018
New to benchmarking? Need to comply with the City of Seattle's annual requirement? Learn the basics of how to benchmark a building. If you are unfamiliar with benchmarking or would like to relearn the steps to bring a building into compliance, this workshop is for you. Participants will learn about the benchmarking process and local utility services available to auto-upload energy consumption data from Seattle City Light, Puget Sound Energy and Enwave. Workshop participants will create an account in Portfolio Manager and begin the initial energy performance rating for their building with guidance from an experienced benchmarking instructor complimented by individual support from the help desk technical assistant. Participants are encouraged to bring data from their own building to the session. A data collection sheet will be emailed to you prior to the workshop. Sample building data will be available for participants who do not bring their own data.
