Backed by 10,125 buildings benchmarked and 8,000+ companies supported.
The essentials

What benchmarking is, and why it runs every year.

What it is
A 1-to-100 score of whole-building energy and water performance, against comparable properties.
Who it applies to
Commercial building owners in a benchmarking jurisdiction, and any portfolio that wants a baseline first.
Why it is annual
Most ordinances require a yearly filing, and a fresh score shows whether each building is improving or drifting.
Data collected
Twelve months of energy and water use, floor area, occupancy, space type, and utility accounts.

A dedicated project manager owns the filing calendar, the utility relationships, and year-over-year continuity across every property.

One portfolio view

How benchmarking supports audits, BPS, and planning

Every solution feeds the same 360° Portfolio Risk Assessment, so what applies, what is at risk, and what to do next stay in one prioritized view rather than scattered across one-off filings.

  1. 1Audits: a low score flags the buildings worth a closer engineering look, so audit budget goes where the waste is.
  2. 2Building Performance Standards: the same energy data sets the baseline you measure future BPS targets against.
  3. 3Capital planning: year-over-year scores show which assets are improving and which are sliding toward exposure.
  4. 4Your 360°: every score rolls into one prioritized view, so the portfolio sorts itself by what needs attention first.
