Mandated by the government, prompted by your sustainability team, or trying to save money on the rising cost of fuel? Lowering carbon emissions is a must.
Tenants aren't staying in spaces with high utility costs and high carbon footprints. Keep tenants in your buildings by making your space too good to pass up.
We all want to know the plan for the future. Tracking your energy use enables you to know what's possible and the next steps to take to get there.
Big data can lead to big confusion.
Portfolio Benchmarking Basics organizes your energy data for easy analysis with graphs and visuals.
You'll also have access to the tables and lists your team needs to analyze the data when making the best decisions for your buildings.
All you need to set up your free energy benchmarking with Portfolio Benchmarking Basics:
Site Information
- Site Name
- Address
- Total Area
Historical Utility Data
- Electric Bills
- Meter Data
Connect your portfolio together. This lays the foundation for quickly comparing sites and making decisions.
Build your reserve of historical energy data. Upload data to quickly see how your energy consumption has changed over time.
Access the tools to manage your portfolio using data, graphs, and quick site comparisons. We provide the tools so you can focus on taking the next best step for your energy savings.
There are a few options for this: building managers will keep records of electric bills, there is often a record in email, or you can contact the utility company for each site.
You can upload electricity data as far back as you would like (and up to 15 minute interval data) for up to 20 sites.
You can upload electricity data infinitely into the future as long as you continue to upload at least one data point every 120 days. Failure to upload data for more than 90 days will limit your access to your Portfolio Benchmarking Basics account.
Switch feels that our mission is to decarbonize the build environment like the earth depends on it. We believe that starts with an awareness of how much energy we are each using.
Energy Use Intensity is the calculation of how much energy is consumed relative to total area of a building.
