EnergyStar Portfolio Manager is a web-based tool that allows users to track energy and water consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and cost data for their buildings. It provides a comprehensive platform for benchmarking energy performance against similar buildings, enabling users to identify opportunities for improvement.

The workflow is designed to be user-friendly, allowing property managers and energy professionals to input data easily and generate reports that help in decision-making.
