LONGMONT Longmont’s building energy benchmarking program, an opportunity for businesses to better understand their properties’ energy use, is now open to large commercial and industrial buildings of 20,000 square feet or more.
Longmont Power & Communications said that building energy benchmarking compares a structure to similar building types across the U.S. in similar climates such as comparing an office building to another office building or a school to a school using no-cost Environmental Protection Agency software. That information can then be used to help improve the property’s energy efficiency. LPC spokesman Scott Rochat said in a press release that similar programs elsewhere have allowed companies to reduce energy costs by 2.4% per year on average.
