Compliance Simplified: A Step-by-Step Guide to Energy Benchmarking

In this training, building owners, operators, and consultants will learn how to set up and easily populate data into a free Measurabl account. Once your data is populated, you’ll be able to use the free tool’s functionality to check and improve the quality of your data, so it’s ready for submission and complies with local and state benchmarking ordinances.

We will walk you through setting up a free account and quickly establishing a bidirectional sync with ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager® (as well as highlighting upload options for those not using Portfolio Manager). Then you’ll learn how the Measurabl tool’s additional layer of Data Quality Control (detecting gaps and outliers) can aid in further improving your data, as well as how its regulatory visibility function quickly identifies which of your buildings are subject to specific local and state ordinances. Finally, we’ll briefly review what comes next for compliance and share information on future training opportunities.
