Energy Smart Awards invites Oakland businesses to be recognized for energy benchmarking
Oakland Local, January 14, 2014East Bay commercial building owners and managers are encouraged to apply for the upcoming Energy Smart Awards to be recognized for proactively managing their buildings’ energy use through energy benchmarking.
Benchmarking tracks a building’s energy efficiency and compares its performance against similar buildings via ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager, a free online tool. After a building’s basic data is entered, the tool provides an energy score and a customized report to help businesses manage energy use and save money on monthly utility bills.
