Why Collect Data at Multifamily Properties?

Data can help determine best ways to reduce costs and prioritize improvements. In addition, pre and post measurement and verification of improvements prove if savings are being met or not.

Compare building’s utilities to comparable buildings in your area usingCompare building s utilities to comparable buildings in your area using HUD’s Multifamily Benchmarking Tools.

Use building’s Load Profile Data to negotiate electric and natural gas rates.

Install Check or Submeters at resident units to determine or bill for energy usage. According to NYSERDA, recent studies show that multifamily buildings can reduce their energy consumption by up to 20 percent in the first g gy p y p pyear alone by installing advanced submeters.
