\"U.S.<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Debate continues in the headlines over whether federal support and funding for ENERGY STAR\u00ae initiatives will continue, garnering a lot of attention. A U.S. House of Representatives budget proposal in May called for reorganizing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency office that runs ENERGY STAR. The House passed this budget, known as H.R. 1- One Big Beautiful Bill Act<\/a>, and the U.S. Senate has taken it up for consideration. Differences between the Senate and House versions of the budget must be resolved by a conference committee before going to the President\u2019s desk to be signed into law. The final version is currently anticipated to go to the President in July. The new budget will be implemented in October, when the government new fiscal year begins. Here’s a quick update on what we think and what we suggest you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What We Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a six-time ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Sustained Excellence Award recipient, Yardi assures clients using the Yardi Energy Suite<\/a> that it is closely monitoring the ENERGY STAR situation. In addition, Yardi\u2019s energy experts regularly engage with a range of stakeholders including the EPA, the U.S. Department of Energy, and industry groups such as the Institute for Market Transformation\u00ae and OSCRE\u00ae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is broad agreement across these organizations that ENERGY STAR\u00ae Portfolio Manager\u00ae should carry on, although it may have to evolve. There are multiple potential paths forward for ENERGY STAR. For example, the Department of Energy is a possible landing place for Portfolio Manager, should the EPA not continue to manage the program for buildings. Other solutions and structures for ENERGY STAR are also being discussed, but no actions are being taken at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many jurisdictions across North America use Portfolio Manager as their basis for reporting. Often, utility providers send aggregated data into it for compliance reporting. Should it be shut down, even temporarily, local deadlines and reporting processes may be impacted. The Yardi team has contacts for all jurisdictions and utilities that leverage Portfolio Manager and will use these to maximize continued access to data for our Yardi Sustainability<\/a> clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What We Suggest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Keep calm & benchmark on. <\/em>The future of ENERGY STAR is still being determined. Yardi analysts who manage client data in Portfolio Manager are downloading and maintaining copies of all data stored there. This includes building attributes along with energy, water, waste and greenhouse gas data. Anyone maintaining their own data in Portfolio Manager should consider downloading their data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince we will have a better understanding of ENERGY STAR\u2019s future in July, and nothing is expected to change until October, today\u2019s best course of action is to continue using Portfolio Manager while backing up all data frequently. Should Portfolio Manager become unavailable in the future, Yardi will continue to work with all parties to minimize the impact on our clients and their data,\u201d said Randy Moss, ENERGY STAR industry principal for Yardi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
