This report summarizes findings from the second year of the Philadelphia benchmarking program, which collects energy performance data for the city’s largest non-residential buildings. More than 90 percent of required buildings reported in Year Two, providing a snapshot of 2013 energy and water usage for a quarter of the city’s total floor area. Overall, facilities performed above national averages, but energy efficiency in commercial buildings continues to be a great opportunity to save Philadelphia business owners money and reduce the city’s carbon footprint.
