Determining a building's energy performance for benchmarking, code compliance and investment decisions is extremely complicated. The choice of metric, methodology and values all matter if the primary intent of the initiative is to be achieved equitably in a competitive marketplace. This seminar compares and contrasts different metrics and approaches used by ASHRAE and other organizations, including metrics based on end use loads, site energy, energy cost, primary energy and greenhouse gas emissions. Benefits and challenges with each metric are explored, and options for reconciling differences among the metrics are examined.
