As part of Energy Efficiency Day, MI Environment looks at the effort underway by an EGLE grantee to help the City of Detroit benchmark its buildings to reduce energy use.
Work is underway to benchmark the City of Detroit's municipal buildings to reduce energy waste and cut energy bills, thanks to a grant to the Detroit 2030 District from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE).
Benchmarking involves assembling annual utility data to establish a baseline. This provides the ability to:
To benchmark the buildings, the Detroit 2030 District uses ENERGY STAR's Portfolio Manager (ESPM), a free online tool to measure and track energy and water consumption, as well as greenhouse gas emissions.
The project will update energy data with current data for the existing 130 municipal buildings in the ESPM, and it will add other buildings not in the system.
Helping the streamline the process is a pilot project by DTE Energy that automates the energy of electric and natural gas data into ESPM.
In addition, the Detroit 2030 District's customized dashboard for building members is helping the City of Detroit to identify which buildings in their portfolio are underperforming and merit further investigation as well as identify utility incentives.
When complete, the information will help the City of Detroit to make decisions about capital improvements and maintenance procedures.
Businesses and organizations large and small are encouraged to use the free Portfolio Manager tool - the industry-leading benchmarking tool -- to help them manage the energy and water use at any building. Setting up a property in Portfolio Manager is easy, as this ENERGY STAR YouTube video demonstrates.
