Benchmarking in Energy Efficiency
The Energy Smart Tool is an online benchmarking system that can be used to evaluate the energy performances of office and hotel buildings. It enables building owners to review the energy consumption patterns within their buildings and compare them against the industry norms. The benchmarking system was developed based on a rigorous study and analysis of two representative databases on office and hotel buildings in Singapore.
