The Atlanta BBC has dedicated a team to benchmarking and measuring progress toward goals. Utility data will be collected from each building participant and aggregated into Energy Star Portfolio Manager to measure the overall reduction in energy and water consumption.  Periodic reports will be provided by Central Atlanta Progress to communicate progress and highlight opportunities, based on the DOE reporting requirements below. Atlanta BBC will honor requests to keep building-specific data anonymous for any reporting other than to DOE.

Participation in the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge will provide many benefits, including energy and water cost savings, positive public recognition for your organization and educational resources to improve energy and water efficiency in your business operations. By contributing to the success of the Atlanta BBC, you will improve your bottom line by saving energy and water. From a national perspective, more efficient buildings will reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil, protect the environment, and stimulate economic growth through cost savings, investment in new technologies, and job creation.

Energy conservation measures can range from simple adjustments in building operations to full systems retrofits. The Atlanta BBC team will serve as a resource to help you identify those measures that are most appropriate for your organization.
