Sample email template to request energy data from utility after initial denial

Uploading accurate and complete energy data to ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager is an integral component of the benchmarking process. To help achieve this, ENERGY STAR has developed a series of resources to help Service and Product Providers (SPPs) and their clients navigate the process for requesting whole-building consumption data from a utility. If your utility does not have an existing process for providing aggregate, whole-building data for benchmarking, use this sample email text to prepare your request.

If you already emailed your utility and received an inital denial, use the sample text in the Word document below to follow up.
