3. 3 3 An Energy Asset Rating… …evaluates the energy efficiency potential of a building

4. 4 4 An Energy Asset Rating… …evaluates the energy efficiency potential of a building based on its construction, installed energy-consuming systems, and renewable energy systems.

5. 5 5 An Energy Asset Rating… …evaluates the energy efficiency potential of a building based on its construction, installed energy-consuming systems, and renewable energy systems. Energy asset rating should not be considered an estimate of a building’s actual energy use

6. 6 6 An Energy Asset Rating… …evaluates the energy efficiency potential of a building based on its construction, installed energy-consuming systems, and renewable energy systems. Energy asset rating should not be considered an estimate of a building’s actual energy use, rather it is designed to give the owner an idea of the energy efficiency potential of the building independent of the way the building is currently operated.

7. 7 7 An Energy Asset Rating… …evaluates the energy efficiency potential of a building based on its construction, installed energy-consuming systems, and renewable energy systems. Energy asset rating should not be considered an estimate of a building’s actual energy use, rather it is designed to give the owner an idea of the energy efficiency potential of the building independent of the way the building is currently operated. This perspective enables a reasonable comparison of a building’s energy efficiency potential to other buildings.

23. 23 Future of BEARS

24. 24 Future of BEARS Testing Refine framework Develop assessor training Develop BEARS software tool Grow scope to include more buildings

25. BEARS provides a new way of thinking about the value of a building’s permanent assets, and creates a more robust link between energy efficiency and property value
