The act of benchmarking can decrease energy use by 2 – 3% per year, a modest but meaningful reduction.

To learn about the specific benchmarking findings in the 2024 Cycle of Benchmarking.

One of the most effective ways to save energy and water in buildings is to benchmark — that is, to measure and compare a building’s energy to similar buildings, past consumption, or a reference performance level. Benchmarking is the first step in meeting the Building Performance Standard. Building IQ uses Energy Star’s benchmarking platform, Portfolio Manager.

Benchmark with CORE

We recommend letting CORE do the work to make your benchmarking process simple and accurate. During this process, CORE will:

Reach out to set up a site visit with you or your staff member
Request your written consent for the next steps
Conduct a site visit at your building to gather utility information
Collect your energy and water use data from your utility providers
Share your utility data with the City of Aspen to complete your “benchmark”
Serve as your go-to resource starting with benchmarking and continuing throughout your emissions reductions journey
