This guide provides an overview of the Standard Energy Efficiency Data (SEED) Platform™. The SEED Platform devel-oped by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to provide a low-cost, user-friendly tool for jurisdictions to launch and manage energy benchmarking and Building Performance Standard (BPS) programs. While some jurisdictions use SEED to manage their BPS end to end, others integrate additional software solutions to organize data and communicate with stakeholders.
Standardizing and streamlining the audit documentation process can help Building Performance Standard (BPS) program managers achieve consistency in compliance and aid individual building managers to document and implement building efficiency improvements more effectively. This document describes how the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Audit Template tool can play a key role in managing BPS compliance over time by allowing standardized energy audit data collection, reporting, and management of multiple compliance cycles.
The BETTER tool identifies cost-saving energy and emissions reductions in buildings and portfolios without site visits or complex modeling.
This tool is a central database for city BPS data that merges information from Portfolio Manager, Audit Template, and other city datasets in one place.
This is an online portal which cities can use to collect standardized information about a building’s physical systems and recommended upgrades. Auditors use the mobile-friendly interface to submit data.
ComStock and ResStock are building stock-level diagnostic tools. States, municipalities, utilities and manufacturers can use them to identify high-impact improvements and make better program decisions.
The Asset Score tool assesses the energy efficiency of a building's physical systems and produces an Energy Asset Score Report.
