In our ongoing global effort towards sustainability, energy benchmarking stands out as a pivotal tool in assessing and enhancing the energy performance of buildings. This process allows us to set a comparative baseline, identifying inefficiencies and setting actionable targets for improvement. Despite its importance, many buildings consistently fall short of meeting these benchmarks, which hinders their progress towards obtaining green building certification and participating effectively in energy efficiency programs. Here, we explore the top reasons for these shortcomings and provide insights on how to address them.
