East Bay Businesses Honored at Energy Smart Awards for Energy Benchmarking

Forty-six businesses in Berkeley, Oakland and Emeryville have been honored for proactively managing their buildings’ energy use through energy benchmarking. The Energy Smart Awards, hosted by the East Bay Environmental Network (EBEN) and Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) Oakland East Bay on January 30, recognized grocery stores (including Berkeley Bowl, Safeway, Whole Foods and Grocery Outlet), a hospital, multi-family housing buildings, schools, hotels and more. 

Benchmarking tracks a building’s energy efficiency and compares its performance against similar buildings via ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager, a free online tool.  After a building's basic data is entered, the tool provides an energy score and a customized report to help businesses manage energy use and save money on monthly utility bills.
