Building Performance

The City tracks energy and water performance for all facilities (municipal and school) to actively monitor and manage operations. Additionally, to seeing how each facility performs compared to itself overtime, all major buildings are benchmarked using ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager to understand how they compare to like facilities nationwide.   

The Energy and Water Management Program also supports the City's Climate Action efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The City's municipal targets to support the City meeting their rection goals within the committed timeline can be viewed on the City's Sustainability Dashboard (LINK). 

• Energy Reduction Goal: 30% reduction in Energy Use Intensity by FY2030
