9 Benchmark in Portfolio Manager What is Portfolio Manager? Web-based, no-cost energy tracking tool Measures actual energy performance and improvements Used by over 200,000 buildings (and growing!) Benefits of Tracking Energy in Portfolio Manager Heighten awareness of energy use through an easily understood, score Score normalized for weather, building characteristics to allow comparisons over time or across a portfolio Assess effectiveness of current operations, policies Set priorities for upgrades and retrofits Track improvements and earn recognition Senior Care: Definition Senior Care Facility applies to all buildings in a multi-building campus setting or a stand-alone facility that are designed to house and provide care and assistance for elderly residents.
