Benchmarking Standards for Minnesota Buildings

Our Mission‑Driven Approach in Minnesota

Empowering Your Energy Efficiency Journey in Minnesota

At Benchmarking Buildings, our mission is to simplify energy management by providing property managers with clear, actionable, data‑driven insights. In Minnesota, where a diverse mix of building types—from modern facilities to historic properties—presents unique energy challenges, understanding your building’s energy consumption is key. We work closely with you to analyze current energy use, identify inefficiencies, and develop targeted strategies that lower utility costs and promote sustainability. Our mission‑driven approach ensures that every recommendation is tailored to your building’s specific circumstances and the local climate.

Why Benchmark Your Building?

Benchmarking your building involves accurately measuring its energy consumption over time and comparing it to similar properties. This process provides several essential benefits:

• Establish a Clear Baseline: Precisely determine your building’s current energy use to form a reliable performance baseline.
• Identify Efficiency Opportunities: Uncover specific areas where energy can be conserved and costs reduced.
• Reduce Operating Costs: Implement targeted energy‑saving measures that lower utility bills and overall operating expenses.
• Enhance Property Value: Improved energy performance increases your building’s market competitiveness and overall asset value. By obtaining detailed insights into your building’s energy performance, you can make informed, strategic decisions that yield both immediate and long‑term economic and environmental benefits.

Comprehensive Benchmarking Services for Minnesota

Detailed Energy Audits

Our process begins with a comprehensive energy audit designed to capture all relevant data regarding your building’s energy usage:

• Data Collection: We review historical utility bills and assess current energy consumption patterns to build an accurate profile of your building’s energy use.
• Efficiency Analysis: The audit identifies areas where energy is being wasted and pinpoints opportunities for improvement.
• Baseline Establishment: A robust, data‑driven baseline is established, serving as the foundation for your ongoing energy benchmarking efforts.

Customized Benchmarking Reports

After the energy audit, our expert team compiles the findings into a detailed benchmarking report that includes:

• Comparative Analysis: Your building’s energy performance is compared to similar properties, highlighting areas where improvements can be made.
• Actionable Recommendations: Clear, data‑driven recommendations are provided for reducing energy consumption. These may include options such as retro‑commissioning, lighting upgrades, and HVAC system optimizations.
• Tailored Insights: The report is customized to address the unique characteristics of your building, ensuring that the recommendations are both practical and cost‑effective.
