The Building Energy Asset Score Training and Certificate of Proficiency is a hands-on visual demonstration and practicum of how to use the U.S. Department of Energy’s Asset Score tool.
The Asset Score Tool allows a user without energy modeling expertise to easily and reliably build a robust 3-D model of a building’s physical assets and simulate the building’s energy use. It was developed by the U.S. Department of Energy and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to act as a national standard for building energy efficiency assessments.
It provides users with:
A 1-10 point asset score based on a building’s physical assets and a weather-normalized Energy Use Intensity rating based on an EnergyPlus model
Upgrade recommendations for reducing energy use, minimizing energy bills, and improving building asset value
