Energy Benchmarking

Green Building United supports the City of Philadelphia's benchmarking and disclosure law, which allows building owners and operators assess their energy usage over time, gauge performance relative to others in the marketplace, and better understand how energy efficiency projects can offset their usage.

Green Building United builds on this increased awareness around energy use, supporting energy efficiency in the building sector with trainings on behavior change, improved operations, and strategic capital investments.

Reductions in energy consumption result in lowered costs and carbon emissions, creating a healthier and more prosperous city.
