This guide introduces the features of the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager Data Explorer, which enables users to explore aggregated, anonymized data from EPA’s ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. It includes examples (at the end of the guide), demonstrating how to combine specific filters to get the most out of the data.
The Portfolio Manager Data Explorer offers a variety of metrics, and users can quickly see how the energy use of buildings varies based on the type of building, where it is located, its size, and other filters. Users can also download results for further analysis.
The ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager Data Explorer houses energy data for over 150,000 U.S. commercial, multifamily, and single-family properties. The Data Explorer allows users to query this data and explore energy metrics such as Energy Use Intensity (EUI), ENERGY STAR Score, and Percent Electricity across a wide range of property types and characteristics. A variety of filters and metric display options provide customizable results. The tool is available at https://portfoliomanager.energystar.gov/dataExplorer.
This document presents details on the development of the 1 – 100 ENERGY STAR Score for vehicle dealerships, which applies to buildings used for the sale of new or used light-, medium- and heavy-duty cars and trucks. The objective of the ENERGY STAR score is to provide a fair assessment of the energy performance of a property relative to its peers, considering the climate, weather, and business activities at the property.
This presentation provides an overview of Portfolio Manager’s GHG functionality, including understanding Portfolio Manager's GHG emissions inventory, learning how to track emissions benefits from green power use, and learning how to use Portfolio Manager’s reporting functionality to track GHG emissions for the properties in your portfolio.
This Excel spreadsheet contains historical greenhouse gas emissions factors dating back to 2000. Use this as a reference to understand which historical factors are being applied to your buildings' emissions.
The 1 – 100 ENERGY STAR score for Single-Family Homes applies to single-family detached and attached homes. The objective of the ENERGY STAR score is to provide a fair assessment of the energy performance of a property relative to its peers, taking into account the climate, weather, and activities at the property. To identify the aspects of building activity that are significant drivers of energy use and then normalize for those factors, a statistical analysis of the peer building population is performed.
This 10-page document provides a technical overview of the calculation methodology underlying the Building Emissions Calculator. The methodology is described in two main sections:
Calculation of annual current/historical emissions for standard greenhouse gas emission accounting categories
Calculation of annual emissions for a forecast year, based on user-specified assumptions, for the same accounting categories
This document also includes emissions-factor lookup tables in the appendix.
This 18-page user guide for the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager Building Emissions Calculator shows you how to get your data into the tool (including by direct import from Portfolio Manager) and how to use its features. Sections include:
Getting Data into The Building Emissions Calculator .
Users can track the purchase, consumption, and emissions impact of offsite renewable energy, including bundled green power products and unbundled renewable energy certificates (RECs) in ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. This 3-page document lays out the steps to track the use of offsite renewable energy at your building to obtain accurate metrics for energy and emissions performance.
