Abstract

One of the challenges facing commercial building energy-efficiency programs is making the jump from facility manager-level support up the corporate decision chain to attain buy-in from senior management. The Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR® program has developed a set of organization-level energy & financial performance metrics that are designed to make energy management a strategic corporate issue. This paper will report on those metrics and their introduction to the marketplace.
