B3 Benchmarking

About B3 Benchmarking

Funded by the MN Departments of Commerce and Administration, B3 Benchmarking puts the power of public building energy data in the hands of Minnesota public building owners to manage and reduce energy costs. Benchmark energy modeling, peer comparisons, ENERGY STAR® scores, target tracking, and dynamic reporting help you understand the performance of your buildings. B3, which stands for Buildings, Benchmarks, and Beyond, puts the power of building energy data in your hands. Using basic building and meter information, the online tool summarizes energy consumption, costs, and carbon emissions in easily digestible monthly and annual reports for Minnesota public buildings. By reducing energy consumption, you lower your operating costs – freeing up money for your organization’s core services. B3 Benchmarking helps you ensure your building is operating and performing as expected, and the tool screens buildings that would provide the greatest return on investment from any building improvements.
