3. ENERGY STAR Buildings Program

4. 4 ENERGY STAR is … Voluntary public-private partnership Save money Protect the environment Energy efficient products and practices Recognized by over 85% of Americans Also recognized abroad: Australia, Canada, European Union, Japan, New Zealand, & Taiwan

5. 5 ENERGY STAR Accomplishments Utility Bill Savings (Billions kWh) Emission Savings (Vehicle equivalents in millions) Benchmarked in Portfolio Manager Earned the ENERGY STAR 21+ billion sf 185,000 buildings 25% of total buildings market 2.1 billion sf 12,612 labeled buildings Use 35% less energy

6. 6 Energy is the Largest Operating Expense * Data based on 2007 BOMA Experience Exchange Report $14.93 NOI/sf & $2.26 Utility cost/sf

7. 7 Proven Energy Management Strategy Used to: Assess current energy performance Set reduction goals Track savings over time Reward improvements

8. The EPA Energy Performance Scale and Portfolio Manager

9. 9 Standardized Metric Until recently, a standardized, comparable metric of whole building energy performance did not exist EPA introduced the Energy Performance Scale in 1999 to meet this need 9

10. 10 Is Your Building Performing Well? Fuel Efficiency MPG Is 18 MPG high or low for an automobile? Energy Performance EPA Benchmarking Is 80 kBtu/SF/YR high or low for a building?

11. 11 Medical Offices Office Buildings HospitalsWarehousesResidence Hall/Dormitories SupermarketsCourthouses K-12 Schools Bank/Financial Institutions Hotels Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants Retail Stores Eligible Space Types Houses of Worship Data Centers Senior Care Facilities

12. 12 Data You’ll Need to Collect General Address Year built Energy Consumption 12 consecutive months for each source (electric, gas, etc.) Space Type Data Square Footage Occupancy Number of PCs Hours of operation % Heated and Cooled

13. 13 Energy Performance Scale is a Comparative Metric Energy Performance Scale 1255075 100 Invest Invest & Tune Best investment opportunities are in lower quartiles - greatest potential for improvement Tune RCx & O&M improvements yield savings and label candidates Reward & Learn High scoring buildings provide lessons learned and label candidates

14. 14 Top Benefits of Energy Benchmarking Establish a baseline energy performance score for each property Set goals Measure and verify improvements – financial and environmental Prioritize investments Identify lessons learned and apply across portfolio Earn the ENERGY STAR Earn recognition from BOMA and others for environmental and operational excellence
