What is Benchmarking and Portfolio Manager?Slide4
Benchmarking allows you to:
ANY building can be
benchmarked.
Compare your building to a
national sample
of similar buildings
Compare your buildings of a similar type to
each other
Identify underperformers
in your portfolio and set priorities for the use of limited staff time and/or investment capital

Benchmarking Activity Continues to Grow Year Over YearSlide16
Longstanding Corporate Recognition of Benchmarking as an Energy Management Best PracticeSlide17
Increase in State and Local Benchmarking Policies and Voluntary Initiatives Slide18
Growing Number of Utilities Integrating Benchmarking into Program Offerings
18Slide19
Integration of Benchmarking Into Multifamily Financing Opportunities
19Slide20
What Does This Mean for Utilities?
Benchmarking activity continues to increase across the country, for a variety of reasons
If your commercial and multifamily customers are not benchmarking yet, they may be soon
Increased benchmarking activity leads to increased customer demand for technical assistance
Opportunity for utilities to take the lead as solution providers
20Slide21
The Value Proposition for Benchmarking
21Slide22
Consistent benchmarking in buildings
promotes energy
savings and improved performance

Benchmarking Enables Savings in Commercial BuildingsSlide23
“We see it as the gateway to energy efficiency.”Kevin Bricknell, Energy Data Services Program Manager, Commonwealth Edison
“Customers are encouraged to benchmark their facilities, pinpoint areas in need of efficiency upgrades and take advantage of
ComEd’s
menu of energy efficiency programs.”
How Does Benchmarking Benefit Utilities?Slide24
2012 California Statewide Benchmarking Process Evaluation
Of those customers that participated in utility benchmarking programs:
62%
indicated that benchmarking influenced how their organization manages building energy use
84%
planned or implemented energy efficiency
improvements
81%
of these customers
had made or planned to make improvements through their utility’s efficiency programMore than half of customers agreed that benchmarking leads to implementation of more comprehensive energy efficiency measuresSource: NMR Group. Statewide Benchmarking Process Report. Submitted to California Public Utilities Commission. April 2012. Online at http://www.calmac.org/publications/Statewide_Benchmarking_Process_Evaluation_Report_CPU0055.pdf How Does Benchmarking Benefit Utilities? (cont’d.)Slide25
Additional Utility Benefits Beyond Driving Program Participation
B
etter analysis, planning, and program design through access to new types of information
Ability to consider whole buildings, not just customer accounts
Access to building use attributes, in addition to energy consumption
City-level benchmarking reports deliver significant insights regarding local building stock
Opportunity to prioritize outreach and recruitment based on performance levels
Opportunity to position the utility as a trusted solution provider.

Value of Benchmarking Being Cited in Regulatory Filings
Baltimore Gas & Electric (2014)
“BGE’s account managers will use customer benchmarking scores to identify prime opportunities for the implementation of energy saving measures.”
Xcel Energy (2015)
“The
Company plans to track building owner participation in the Energy Benchmarking program through its customer information systems and will use this service to understand opportunities to engage with high-potential buildings through its existing commercial and multi-family building programs
