Benchmarking is a good first step to energy efficiency. Work with SEDAC to compare building energy performance of your facility to other similar buildings in similar climates. The worst performers generally have the highest savings potential on a per-square-foot basis. By comparing your facility to other similar facilities, you can identify areas for improvement.

Are you responsible for a portfolio of buildings? SEDAC can benchmark the buildings in your portfolio, comparing them to each other. By ranking buildings according to a combination of worst energy performance and highest total energy costs, you get a good sense of which buildings should be prioritized.
