Benchmarking is essential to understanding how well a building
is performing.
Energy benchmarking is the ongoing review of your organization's energy consumption to determine if a building's energy performance is getting better or worse in comparison to itself, other buildings in your portfolio and/or its peers.

We have adapted Portfolio Manager to Canada as a Metrics Calculator and a Management Tool
Based on the only National building energy use data survey
Tracks changes in energy, water emissions & cost over time
Uses Canadian factors for energy and emissions calculations Indirect, direct, total and avoided
Bilingual
Metric and imperial
Weather normalization - auto mapped to postal code
Share/Report/request data with others

It is already a “hit” in the US
67% of Building Managers in the U.S. use Portfolio Manager as the first step in a project

Number of buildings: 11,579 Floor space : 152.6 M m2
18.8% of Floor space
Since its launch in 2013, Portfolio Manager’s Popularity is growing and it is now coast to coast to coast

Portfolio Manager is simple but highly effective
A score of 50 is the median. If you receive a score of 50, then half of similar buildings are performing worse and half are performing better than your building. A score of 75 or higher would be considered a top performer (in the top quartile).

There are things it does do and things it does not do
The score: • Evaluates actual metered energy use
• Normalizes for business activity
• Compares a building to the national population of buildings
• Indicates the level of relative energy performance
The score does not: • Calculate the energy use of each piece of equipment
• Credit specific technologies
• Compare buildings with others in Portfolio Manager
• Explain why a building performs well or poorly
