The process to track and achieve building performance goals is faced with many challenges, with no clear process for measured success. During this session, you will learn how to create an effective plan of action to achieve your energy performance goals across a portfolio of buildings by applying automated software solutions and enhanced energy information and tracking data.

Learn about how to establish an effective and streamlined process:

Benchmarking – Create a portfolio of buildings with their details and billed data to identify and target the buildings that stand to save the most. Automate the sharing of billed data and building details from benchmarking software to energy modeling software.

Energy Modeling – Utilize the building vintages to quickly create an existing building model calibrated to the billed data. Assess what measures can be implemented to lower operating costs, reduce carbon emissions, and reduce peak demand.

Grid Interactive Buildings – Analyze other measures like battery storage, thermal energy storage, and solar PV. Learn how these measures can be a resource to the electric grid through demand response programs and flattening the building load curves by shifting energy consumption to other times of the day.

Metrics for success – Compare the as-designed energy modeled results with the benchmarked data, and track improvement plans to achieve overall portfolio goals. Identify actionable measures that can be implemented over time that meet within available budgets.
