The paper describes a proposed method for establishing energy consumption benchmarks for assessing the energy performance of this type of buildings, which are the dominant energy consumers in Hong Kong. The key feature of the method is that the benchmarks to be established would be specific to ...
for commercial buildings have the information to control utility costs, improve energy efficiency, and benefit the bottom line. Adopted in 2011, the ordinance is being phased-in over three years. For existing nonresidential buildings 10,000 square feet and larger, the ordinance requires: An Acti ...
The procedure determines the energy consumption, electrical energy demand, and on-site energy production in existing commercial buildings of all types. The performance metrics determined here may be compared against benchmarks to evaluate performance and verify that performance targets have been achieved....
Building on this success, a question is raised as to whether buildings that have been rated and certified by HK-BEAM are equally good if assessed by the other schemes in developed countries like US, UK, Japan, other EU countries, PRC, etc. The need to benchmark HK-BEAM with other ...
BEI Builder guides Sam through the process of creating BEI records for NTO’s commercial buildings. It calculates the benchmark by averaging energy consumption values from existing energy use records. Only energy use records that Sam ...

Your clients can see the financial benefits—reduced energy costs over the life of the building—of energy-efficient buildings. For commercial real estate, the savings can be impressive: A 30 percent reduction in energy use is equivalent to an increase ...
Researchers at MITestimate that commercial buildings account for 20% of all the energy used in the U.S. and determine 30% of that energy is wasted. So implementing a proactive strategy for saving energy andbecoming more sustainableis good for business and the environment. ...
In addition to commercial buildings, state and local governments have adopted LEED for the sustainable design of public buildings. U.S. General Services Administration requires thatfederally ownednew construction and substantial renovation of buildings meet LEED Gold standards. ...
