  5. Resource: Portfolio Manager • Web-based tool for benchmarking that helps you: • Manage the energy in your facilities portfolio on an ongoing basis • Set building performance goals • Prioritize upgrade work • Track progress over time; ensure continuous improvement • Compare energy performance to similar buildings nationwide, using a score from 1 to 100

  6. Labs21 • EPA and Department of Energy partnership • All private/public sector labs in US • Tools • Design Guide • Best Practices Guide • Case Studies • Benchmarking • Design Tools

  7. Resource: Monitor Power Management • A centrally administered software program to implement monitor power management • Estimated savings: • 200,000 kWh/yr per 1,000 monitors • Savings of $12,000/yr (at $.06/kWh) • Drop in air conditioning load

  8. Resource: Purchasing Tools • Help organizations identify, specify, and purchase ENERGY STAR qualified products • Estimate savings with Web calculators • Provide templates for modifying procurement language and educating employees

  10. Resource: Cash Flow Opportunity Calculator • Answers three critical questions: • How much new energy efficiency equipment can be purchased from anticipated savings? • Should the equipment purchase be financed now, or is it better to wait and use cash from a future budget? • Is money being lost by waiting for a lower interest rate?

  11. Resources for New Buildings: Design Guidance and Web Tool • Incorporate energy considerations from the earliest design stage • Set an energy performance target for the new building • Use the easy online tool “Target Finder” to estimate your target’s energy use intensity (EUI)

  12. Resource for Design Team: Target Finder • Input five building parameters and building type • Select your target score (50 to 100), and Target Finder determines the kBtu/yr (EUI) • Input your estimated kBtu/yr, and Target Finder determines its performance score
