Energy Benchmarking

Energy Benchmarking involves submitting energy and water usage data to city, county, or state governments. This process helps authorities identify inefficient buildings, enabling them to develop targeted local policies, such as Building Energy Performance Standards (BEPS), to improve building efficiency. It plays a vital role in advancing a clean energy economy.

Honeydew Energy Advisors offers Energy Benchmarking services in Washington, DC, Montgomery County, MD, and Miami, FL.
