Best Performer (based on 2021 data only) - awarded to the building or plant with the highest energy performance rating for 2021.
Most Improved - awarded to the building or plant making the greatest percentage gain in energy reduction from 2020 to 2021.
All participants must benchmark their building’s energy use in Portfolio Manager, ENERGY STAR’s free software monitoring tool.

Participants must benchmark all fuels used in the operation of their building. Participants will be required to submit energy performance results generated by Portfolio Manager to verify their final “Improvement Over Time”.
Building owners and operators may enter multiple buildings, but each building must be entered as a separate facility within your Portfolio Manager account. Please contact us (louisivilleenergyalliance@gmail.com) to submit more than five buildings at once.
Participating industrial plants must benchmark energy use in EPA’s Energy Tracking Tool and report savings using the tool’s Statement of Energy Improvement. Eligible plants must also report their 1-100 Energy Performance Indicator Score, also available in EPA’s Energy Tracking Tool.
