Leveraging Commercial Benchmarking Data: A Discussion with AEE CRC Members

To achieve energy and carbon reduction goals, Cities like Seattle and Portland have been requiring commercial and residential building owners to measure and report their energy performance. Now, there is a set of longitudinal information on these buildings. What’s being done with all this data? What insights can we as energy engineers, utility program administrators, and energy managers glean from these initiatives?

Join the Columbia River Chapter of AEE on September 19th for our next Energy Engineering Forum, sponsored by Energy Trust of Oregon, as we dive into this topic with two experts in the field.
