Benchmarking
Benchmarking Requirement
Beginning January 1, 2010, benchmarking with the EPA’s ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager is required for customers with eligible buildings in order to participate in SDG&E’s energy efficiency programs.
To receive an SDG&E rebate or incentive, all customers whose buildings can be benchmarked must submit a benchmark score. If your building cannot be benchmarked, you can still receive a rebate or incentive.
We’ll help you determine if your building can be benchmarked.

Use ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager to Benchmark
Use ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager, an online service created by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to benchmark your building by tracking your building’s energy performance and comparing it to similar buildings nationwide.
Portfolio Manager will rank your building’s energy performance on a scale of 1 to 100. A score of 75 means your building performs better than 75% of similar buildings nationwide.
