Just like we hinted in our recap of what Philly’s doing to prep for climate change, the Mayor’s Office of Sustainability (MOS) released results of Philly’s Energy benchmarking program yesterday.
The Year Two benchmarking results are available online to download.
Don’t feel like reading the whole thing?
Fresh off of this report, MOS is debuting the Energy Reduction Race for building veterans of this benchmarking program. Challenging participants of facilities to reduce energy use by 5% by September 2014, the city will give winners ‘cash prizes’ of $5000 based off of greatest total energy reduction, greatest energy reduction by square footage (weather-normalized Site EUI), and greatest increase in ENERGY STAR score. Regardless of their progress, all buildings are ‘winners’ and will receive free training for staff to meet their 5% targets.
However, don’t get too psyched about the $5,000/building: they’re pretty much expected to improve energy efficiency in their buildings with the cash.
Is your building interested? Enter by Halloween 2014.
Readers, what do you think is interesting from the report?
