What Does an EUI Mandate Mean to Facility Managers and Building Owners?
We have been hearing a lot lately about Energy Performance Disclosure and Reporting Mandates for public buildings, sometimes referred to as the Energy Use Index (EUI).

Energy audits are one of the best ways to discover money-saving opportunities in an existing building. A commercial or industrial energy audit will identify how much energy a building uses, how efficiently it uses that energy, and where changes and improvements can be made that will impact both the occupant comfort and the bottom line.

Since its inception, LEED EBOM (Existing Building: Operation and Maintenance) set a high standard for existing buildings in terms of energy use. Prerequisite #2 in the Energy and Atmosphere section was an Energy Star Portfolio Manager score of 69 or higher. (For more about Energy Star Certification, click here) For many older buildings, that was too far a stretch.

I recently returned from the ASHRAE Annual Convention in Dallas (#ASHRAE, #Dallas2013). For me, ASHRAE conventions make it easy to keep up with new developments and new ideas in heating, cooling, ventilation, filtration, Standards and more. Since HVAC can amount to more than 70% of a building’s energy use, and I am an energy efficiency consultant, I need to stay on top of new ideas, codes, Standards and best practices.
