3 NJ Clean Energy Program Background Introduced in 2001 as part of the NJ Clean Energy Act Funded from “Societal Benefits Charge” on utility bill Provides energy efficiency project opportunities for: – Residential – Renewables – Commercial & Industrial

4 Program Goals Save energy and lower operating costs Protect environment and lower emissions Change the business mindset: – Think high efficiency first – Encourage early retirement of equipment – Increase effective operations and maintenance – Promote renewable energy alternatives

5 Free Benchmarking Report Benchmarking assessments are designed to help: Understand energy cost trends and consumption at each building Use comparative data to see how building(s) compare to similar buildings using ENERGY STAR ® Portfolio Manager Identify opportunities for improving operations, reducing costs, and getting an energy efficiency project started

6 Reports Include: Building energy usage summary Data analysis graphs USEPA Portfolio Manager score (for most building types) Guidance on NJ Clean Energy Program options Program application information Free Benchmarking Report

7 To Request Free Benchmarking Visit NJCleanEnergy.com/BENCHMARKING Submit the online data collection form Submit 12 consecutive months of energy data or a signed Fuel/Energy Release Authorization Form
