Since 2009, we’ve tracked energy use for thousands of buildings and helped customers meet reporting requirements for corporate sustainability mandates and local energy benchmarking ordinances. To get started, get in touch!
Managing energy benchmarking ordinance compliance with an internal process?
There’s an easier way.
Using data collected from benchmarking and transparency (B&T) policies, building owners, managers, and operators can identify opportunities to cost-effectively reduce wasted energy and water.
However, the effort and time needed to meet these reporting requirements can be overwhelming when you’re drowning in utility bills and manually entering meter data, especially as a compliance deadline is fast approaching.
We can save you from the impending headaches, whether you’re starting from scratch or streamlining compliance for the future.
ENERGY STAR’s Portfolio Manager is the most common tool used for tracking and submitting energy benchmarking data. As a 6-time ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year and Premier Member of the EPA’s Certification Nation, EnergyPrint can seamlessly upload your utility data into the Portfolio Manager, preventing you from having to learn a new system from scratch.
How does EnergyPrint work?
EnergyPrint is a full-service data collection and compliance reporting partner. We not only input and deliver data, but also manage the entire collection and validation process to ensure you have quality data when and where you need to use it.
EnergyPrint can get your facility started with 3 easy steps:
- Enter Your Building Information
- Upload Utility Bill Copies and/or Provide Utility Account Access
- Sign Authorizations

"EnergyPrint makes our energy benchmarking easy. We tried to do it internally and faced challenges like working with our utility providers or manually entering utility data into ENERGY STAR. Now that EnergyPrint handles our compliance, it simplified our process and we don’t have any of the errors or issues we used to spend hours trying to resolve."
