Building Energy Report Cards
Under the AIRE program, Arlington County made a commitment to reduce emissions from its own operations by 10% by 2012. As a county government, buildings are just a part of the total energy use but offer substantial opportunities to reduce energy consumption, and therefore emissions, without compromising essential services.
Thanks to continued investments in energy efficiency and employee engagement, the County is successfully reducing its buildings carbon footprint. The County is tracking progress in each building using report cards. The report card shows information including:
- Basic building characteristics
- Annual electric and natural gas use
- Site and source energy use intensity
- Carbon footprint
- EPA ENERGY STAR Ratings and national average comparisons to tell you how that building is performing.
