View and manage your portfolio of buildings
Create data requests for aggregated whole building data
Verify the units in the building(s)
Visualize whole building usage data
Determine whole building energy performance
Connect to and send/receive data with ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager®

Buildings in Providence

Providence, Rhode Island joins an increasing number of states and municipalities across the United States in establishing benchmarking programs to measure the energy performance of buildings. Providence’s Building Energy Reporting Ordinance currently requires large buildings over 50,000 gross square feet to report energy usage no later than May 15, 2025. Buildings between 20,000 and 49,999 gross square feet should report usage no later than May 15, 2026.

Read about the City of Providence’s benchmarking ordinance and what you need to do to comply.
