The building sector accounts for around 40% of total U.S. energy consumption.* For state and local governments across the nation, building benchmarking policies are the first step in shrinking that statistic. In addition, new building energy performance standards (BEPS) are taking aim at more dramatic changes. But implementation is complex, especially when it comes to handling and aggregating building data. Many utilities face a loaded choice: operate in spreadsheets, build a tool from scratch or find a third-party solution. And many of these options only address parts of the data problem.
Calico’s Whole Building Benchmarking™ Application for utilities is purpose-built to simplify benchmarking. Unlike many solutions on the market, our building benchmarking software is designed to handle complex multi-tenant building scenarios. For building owners, the application uncovers energy insights that lead to meaningful retrofits and for utilities, it helps simplify administration and unlock possibilities across programs.
