Results from EnergyScoreCards Minnesota, a two-year controlled experiment that included over 550 buildings, found that energy and water benchmarking work as an energy efficiency measure for multifamily buildings in Minnesota.
Bright Power and its project partners discovered a 5% energy savings and 30% water savings in the second year among master-metered buildings (i.e., in buildings where owners pay all utilities used onsite) for the group that used EnergyScoreCards benchmarking compared to the control group that did not.
