How B3 Benchmarking Works

How B3 Works

B3 Benchmarking is an “off-the-shelf” online tool that collects, stores, manages and analyzes utility data for buildings. B3 includes all ENERGY STAR eligible building types, but also mixed use and other building types beyond ENERGY STAR. B3 integrates with and expands upon ESPM, pairing monthly utility data and basic building information with real-time energy simulations, allowing users to:

• Get ENERGY STAR scores, when eligible

• Compare building energy performance against current local energy codes

• Identify buildings with the greatest savings potential for improvement and investment

• Prioritize and align energy improvement projects with capital planning initiatives

• Track water savings and energy savings in a single dashboard

• Measure energy savings according to IPMVP Option C

BUILDINGS, BENCHMARKS & BEYOND

"With the tool, we can make small or large adjustments in the facilities and see how that affects our consumption. For instance, we ask questions like, “What if we decide to turn off certain banks of lights in off-peak hours?” and we can find the answer. By tracking consumption, the tool tells us how worthwhile such efforts are for us.”

– Jay Strachota, Streets & Parks Superintendent, City of Hopkins, MN

"We use B3 Benchmarking to see how we are doing compared to other schools. Because there are so many schools using it, I believe it’s the best tool for a MN school to gauge progress, set goals, etc."

– Lisa Johnson, ISD 197 West St. Paul – Mendota Heights – Eagan

"I find that the quarterly improvement report is useful as it gives a snapshot of which buildings may have some energy conservation opportunities."

– Eric Gager, Building Maintenance Supervisor, City of Woodbury

"We use B3 Benchmarking to pinpoint problem buildings and fix issues before they turn into large problems."

– Teri Thompson, City of Lake Crystal
