B3 Benchmarking allows you to compare buildings from four major benchmarking perspectives:

B3 BENCHMARK

Sample star rating of 4 1/2 stars

An engineering model using DOE-2 simulations and B3 energy standards to compare a building’s actual use to expected use.

PEER COMPARISON

Sample peer comparison score of 56

An evaluation of a building to our database of buildings with similar space usage and geographic location provides true peer comparison.

Sample EnergyStar score of 62

A simple 0-100 score produced by ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager analyzes a building against similar buildings across the U.S.

Sample comparison to baseline of 9.5% increase

A weather-normalized comparison of a building's consumption to itself over time provides monthly and annual analysis.
