This city of San Francisco now requires all commercial buildings over 10,000 square feet benchmark their energy use and report it to the City of San Francisco annually.   In addition, California law AB 1103 will soon require the disclosure of an energy performance benchmarking score prior to selling, refinancing or leasing certain buildings. 

Learn how to benchmark your building's energy performance with the help of PG&E's Automated Benchmarking Service—a free, easy-to-use service that automatically sends your commercial building's energy use information to the EPA's ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager every month. This class will include a hands-on benchmarking exercise using portable wireless hotspots so that attendees can evaluate a building from start to finish and see the ENERGY STAR score. AIA & GBCI (LEED) credits available. Credits available: AIA 4.0 HSW/SD LUs; GBCI 4.0 CEs

Getting your building's benchmarking score is just the beginning. This course explores how to set targets for improvement: estimating the actual amount of energy savings needed to reach a higher score; which low-/no-cost or capital upgrades might produce various magnitudes of savings; which utility incentive programs could help identify or finance those improvements and much more.

 It's not about what your building's score is today -- it's about what you want that score to be and how to get it there! Credits available: AIA 3.5 HSW/SD LUs; GBCI 3.5 CEs
