Energy Benchmarking: A process of tracking and measuring energy efficiency performance against a baseline over a period of time, using standardized metrics. Energy benchmarking can help facilities managers identify areas of inefficiency and reduce energy costs. It also provides insight into how their organization’s building systems are performing compared to similar buildings, helping to drive overall operational excellence. By proactively tracking and comparing performance metrics, energy benchmarking offers an easy way to keep on top of energy use while promoting sustainability initiatives.
