Toolkits
Better Buildings Accelerator partners are exchanging best practices, and documenting their results by developing unique resources designed to address a specific barrier to energy efficiency. Case studies, checklists, reports, and other technical guidance can be easily found in these toolkits:

  • Industrial Superior Energy Performance Toolkit: demonstrate the cost savings by implementing SEP enterprise-wide, as well as to demonstrate strategic energy management through SEP as an effective ratepayer-funded program offering for industrial facilities. 
  • Energy Data Access: Blueprint for Action: created by partners in the Better Buildings Energy Data Accelerator, this toolkit is a collection of resources that will enable other utilities and communities to learn and benefit from the work of the Accelerator.
