All buildings in the portfolio are benchmarked through Energy Star, pursuant to California law, AB 1103 that requires all commercial building owners in the state to benchmark the energy consumption of their properties. The benchmarking is done through an interactive energy management tool called Energy Star Portfolio Manager maintained by the US EPA, which tracks energy and water consumption. This legislation will enable anyone looking to purchase, finance or lease a commercial property the ability to compare performance in terms of energy consumption.
Tenant Participation: In many cases, the utility meters and accounts are in the tenant’s name. Therefore, we require our tenant’s participation to enable CBRE to input your utility information into EPA Energy Star Portfolio Manager and satisfy the mandate of AB1103.
