Wondering how the largest buildings in Montgomery County, MD shook out with their 2016 Energy Benchmarking reporting? Wonder no more.
In mid-February, Montgomery County disclosed the first round of private building data from their established Energy Benchmarking Regulations, and your era team has mapped it out for your viewing pleasure.
Overall compliance was over 85%. Not bad for a first go-around.
Buildings by Reporting Status
With these being the largest buildings in the County (Group 1 included private buildings over 250k sq-ft along with previously-reported county properties and Group 2 added private properties over 50k sq-ft), many of the scores--not surprisingly--fall into Certified or near-Certified levels.
Buildings by Energy Star Score
A different way to look at the Energy Star Scores:
Score Opportunity (if improvement is desired)
0-35 Time for an Upgrade*
40-70 Time for a Tune-Up*
70-100 Time to Fine-Tune
*Note: Properties in Montgomery County with greater-than-average energy consumption may qualify for Building Tune-Up Incentives of up to $0.25 per sq-ft or 75% of the cost of the Tune-Up.
