Identify your property type
You can use Portfolio Manager to benchmark the performance of any building, no matter what type it is or what you’re using it for. There are 18 broad categories and, within those, more than 80 primary functions built into Portfolio Manager. This makes it easy for you to identify and compare similar buildings within your portfolio.
Click on the category below that best describes how the majority of your building functions. From there, you’ll see the available property types within each category, how they’re defined, and what data you’ll have to enter to successfully benchmark your building in Portfolio Manager.
Twenty-one of the more than 80 property types are also eligible to receive a 1 – 100 ENERGY STAR score. See the property types that are eligible to receive a 1 – 100 ENERGY STAR score.
