Chicago, Illinois

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5 invites you to attend a no-cost workshop for commercial buildings. This interactive workshop is tailored to help participants learn how to measure and track building energy performance using EPA’s Portfolio Manager. The key presenters are Kudret Ütebay, LEED® AP, from The Cadmus Group, a contractor to EPA, and Kevin Bricknell from ComEd. The training also provides an unique opportunity for participants to receive an energy performance rating for their building at the end of the session.

Step-by step instructions on creating a user account, adding a building, space and energy meter, identifying data requirements, managing and sharing information, and creating downloadable reports from Portfolio Manager.
Live demonstration of ComEd’s Energy Usage Data Program.

Participants will learn how to take the first steps at requesting data needed for the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager.

Who Should Attend
