Using ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager to Track Energy Use and GHG Reductions: Guidance for the Health Sector

This document helps health organizations use the U.S. EPA’s free benchmarking tool, ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager®, to track their building-related energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. An Appendix is also available to help different health care provider types learn how to designate their facility to be able to use the tool.

ENERGY STAR Score for Medical Offices

The ENERGY STAR Score for Medical Offices applies to facility space used to provide diagnosis and treatment for medical, dental, or psychiatric outpatient care. The objective of the ENERGY STAR score is to provide a fair assessment of the energy performance of a property relative to its peers, considering the climate, weather, and business activities at the property. To identify the aspects of building activity that are significant drivers of energy use and then normalize for those factors, a statistical analysis of the peer building population is performed.
