3. No information = no action
Cities are looking at what drives demand and competition in other industries
How can markets work more effectively?
How can demand increase without public subsidies?
How can policy help reduce energy costs for businesses and consumers and create jobs?
5. A Virtuous Cycle
“When
performance is
measured,
performance
improves. When
performance is
measured and
reported back,
the rate of
improvement
accelerates.”
One result:
Exceptionally cost-effective peak load reductions

Approximately 75% overall compliance
- Major outreach and training effort
- Benchmarking help center by CUNY/NYSERDA
- Data supplied by ConEd
Significant participation by energy efficiency services vendors and consultants
More than 2,300 city buildings benchmarked and disclosed

Demand and Competitiveness: “Sunlight is the best disinfectant” – building energy performance will be transparent, and building operators will be accountable for ongoing performance. Creates organic competition in the marketplace that will drive demand for improvement without public subsidies.
Led by strong mayoral leadership, cities are making a difference by adopting strong policy packages that addressing market failures by increasing energy performance transparency and implementing other strategies to catalyze demand for energy-efficient buildings.
