What is a target and how do I set one?

A target is an energy efficiency goal that you set for your property. You can set a target as:

  • an ENERGY STAR Score (ex: Target = Score of 80)
  • % Better than Baseline Source EUI (ex: Target = 20% better than Baseline Source EUI)
  • % Better than Median Source EUI (ex: Target = 20% better than the National Median Source EUI)

Where to change your target:

  • On the Goals Tab (under "Current Baselines & Targets")- this changes just that one property's targets
  • On the My Portfolio tab (lower left, "Set a portfolio baseline and/or target") you can change the Target for ALL of your properties. 

Portfolio Manager calculates the following metrics based on your target, which can be pulled into Custom Reports:

  • Target ENERGY STAR Score
  • Target % Better Than Median Source EUI
  • Target Site Energy Use (kBtu)
  • Target Source Energy Use (kBtu)
  • Target Site EUI (kBtu/ft²)
  • Target Source EUI (kBtu/ft²)
  • Target Total GHG Emissions (Metric Tons CO2e)
  • Target Energy Cost ($)
  • Target Water/Wastewater Site EUI (kBtu/gpd)
  • Target Water/Wastewater Source EUI (kBtu/gpd)

There are also Design Target metrics available for the Target you set for your property design. 

Currently, target metrics are only available for energy. Water and Waste targets are on our Wish List.
