Benchmarking
Minnesota has been collecting data on energy use in buildings since 2005, and there are several benchmarking programs across the State. Energy benchmarking is a process of evaluating and comparing the energy performance of a building, using standardized metrics, and comparing buildings to other similar buildings in Minnesota and across the country. Some programs also benchmark water use in buildings. Learn more by clicking on each program page.
