SDG&E’s Automated Benchmarking Service (ABS) provides the ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager with your monthly energy usage data.

The ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager is the Environmental Protection Agency’s interactive energy management tool that allows you to track and assess energy and water consumption of your buildings.

It assigns large commercial buildings an energy performance score and intensity metric (Btu/sq. ft.) based on your previous 12 months of energy use.

Benefits

The performance score and other results help building owners like you:

  • Comply to Assembly Bill 1103 – Benchmarking / Energy Conservation
  • Target buildings for improvement
  • Partner with your utility to develop energy-efficiency projects
  • Track improvements on an ongoing basis

How to Get Started

  1. Register and create an account with the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager *
  2. Enter basic building data for each building you wish to benchmark using "Add a Property".
  3. Add your meter information in the Meter Name field.

    Enter your SDG&E ten-digit account number in the Meter Name field, including leading zeros.

    Using your account number, SDG&E will provide all associated meters for the account.

  4. Initiate the ABS process and select "San Diego Gas & Electric" from the drop down menu.
  5. Complete the Permission to Release Utility agreement.

About Monthly Data Usage Data Transfer

After SDG&E verifies permission to release the building data that you provided:

  • SDG&E will validate account(s) and begin sending your monthly usage data for the previous 36 months and going forward to the Portfolio Manager.

SDG&E will not provide energy usage data to Portfolio Manager until May 15, 2009.

  • You and your SDG&E representative will be able to view your ENERGY STAR scores immediately at the Portfolio Manager site.
