Buildings in the U.S. must be globally benchmarked annually based on actual measured building energy performance on a common metric scale, rather than on modeled assumptions or samples from national demo buildings. In their educational session at Greenbuild, Thomas Spiegelhalter and HMC’s Pablo La Roche compare these buildings against systematic global best practice measuring of yearly primary, secondary and tertiary energy performance (kWh/m2/a), resource use, and carbon intensity (kgCO2e/m2/a).
