Evanston Benchmarking Workshop

Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance

The Evanston City Council is considering adoption of an Energy and Water Benchmarking Ordinance. The City of Evanston, the US Green Building Council of Illinois (USGBC-IL) and the Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (MEEA) are hosting a free Benchmarking Workshop to help building owners and managers learn about benchmarking and get a head start on signing up their building. The workshop will provide free hands-on instruction on setting up your building in ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager and how to enter building energy and water consumption into the tool. 
ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager is a free online tool that requires a computer to utilize so please bring your own laptop to the workshop. All levels of knowledge and experience with benchmarking and energy management are welcome!
