Benchmarking Data Jam

Join the Village's Office of Sustainability & Resilience for a Benchmarking Data Jam from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 17 in the small meeting room at the Oak Park Public Library.

During this hands-on workshop, building owners and managers will learn how to set up a FREE account in ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, how to set up a building profile, how to collect and enter monthly energy and water use data for an entire building, and how to share data to comply with the Village of Oak Park's Energy and Water Benchmarking Ordinance.

Bring your laptop, information about the age and size of your building, 12 months of utility bills, and we'll help you enter your data, too! All levels of knowledge and experience with benchmarking and energy management are welcome.

What happens in a Data Jam?
Staff will present the ordinance and walkthrough steps to compliance. Then, volunteers will offer one-on-one technical support to building owners. By the time the event ends, attendees should be on the path to compliance.

What should I bring?
Bring a laptop, and your building's energy and water bills.
