EPA ENERGY STAR: Final Reminder – document current scores and data before 8/26

August 20, 2018 By SBC

In less than a week, performance metrics for all building types will be updated in Portfolio Manager, including 1-100 ENERGY STAR scores and other source energy metrics.

These new metrics will be applied across all time periods, which means your scores and metrics for all historical benchmarking data will change. Once this happens, EPA will not be able to provide “before and after” score changes for individual buildings or portfolios.

If you anticipate needing to document changes, it is strongly recommended that you document your pre-update scores and download your data NOW. You may need them for third-party certifications, local mandates, or other incentive programs.

For more details on the upcoming metric updates, visit www.energystar.gov/scoreupdates.
