- Benchmarking: Rate the performance of your buildings on a scale of 1-100 relative to similar buildings nationwide using ENERGY STAR's national energy performance rating system. The rating system accounts for the impacts of year-to-year weather variations, as well as building size, location, and several operating characteristics. Buildings rating 75 or greater may qualify for the ENERGY STAR.
Eligible space types, representing over 50% of US commercial floor space (with more to follow soon):

- K-12 Schools
- Hospitals (acute care and children's)
- Hotels and Motels
- Medical Offices
- Supermarkets
- Residence Halls
- Warehouses (refrigerated and non-refrigerated)
- Management: Streamline energy data management for individual and large groups of buildings. View the energy consumption, average energy intensity, and average rating of your entire portfolio simultaneously. Choose to assign read/write access rights to your building data within or outside your organization. Update and track data over time to continuously monitor performance.
- Investment priorities: Use both short and long term trends in energy performance to make budget and management decisions regarding investments in energy-related projects. Rank the performance of large buildings in a portfolio to identify the best investment opportunities.
- Verification: Verify building performance and track the progress of improvement projects. Generate a Statement of Energy Performance for each building, summarizing important energy information and building characteristics.
