Energy Benchmarking Projects

By Meredith Elbaum posted on Fri, 2009-06-19 12:03 , 545 reads, 1 comment

As a helpful exercise to get a sense for how we are doing at reducing energy in our building projects, Sasaki created this chart to show the trends in building performance as determined through energy modeling.  The chart shows the types of building projects and their projected energy performance above a "average" building of the same type.  The goals from the 2030 Challenge are shown as a comparison point for how these projects track against those targets.

 

We'll keep on tracking this and other data going forward so we can measure our continued improvements, and challenge ourselves to do even better.  With sustainability and conservation being core goals of more and more of our work, this puts us on a good track.

Meredith, this is very helpful to see the trends in our sustainable projects.  We should also think about how to articulate carbon emissions similarly.  I like the trend of this graph, we are solidly moving in the right direction!
