The Key Findings from the report are: - Since 2013, there has been at least a 12% reduction in total greenhouse gas emissions from buildings participating in the program. - Since 2013, Philadelphia’s benchmarked buildings have demonstrated a 5% reduction in overall energy use and over half of all buildings reported every year have achieved energy savings. - Since the start of the program, there has been a 53% growth in nationally recognized energy efficient buildings. - The three building sectors with the largest contribution to GHGs are Colleges/Universities, Offices, and Multifamily buildings. - The average building in Philadelphia is performing slightly better than the national median with an ENERGY STAR score of 55; however, thousands of buildings fall below this score, demonstrating the opportunity to improve energy efficiency in our city’s building stock.
