2. ICBA ENERGY STAR Partnership: Meeting the ENERGY STAR ® Challenge In December 2007, ICBA and EPA’s ENERGY STAR Program announced the launch of their Energy Efficiency Partnership Purpose is to help banks improve the energy efficiency of their buildings and save money ICBA and ENERGY STAR will recognize banks that achieve annual energy savings of 10% or higher

3. 4 Easy Steps to Energy Savings Step 1: Join ENERGY STAR Take the first step to making your bank more energy efficient by joining the ENERGY STAR Small Business Network at www.energystar.gov/smallbiz www.energystar.gov/smallbiz Step 2: Measure Your Energy Use Use ENERGY STAR’s Portfolio Manager tool to enter your monthly energy use and to track your energy use over time. Login at www.energystar.gov/benchmark www.energystar.gov/benchmark Step 3: Develop and Implement Your Plan Use the many technical resources available from ENERGY STAR to learn about energy-efficiency opportunities, formulate an action plan for improving your banks, and implement your plan. Step 4: Earn Recognition Recognition as a leader in reducing energy consumption can send a powerful message to today’s environmentally minded consumer.

4. Step 2: Why Benchmark? Community banks should know and understand the following: –How much energy is used? –What am I spending on utilities? –How does this compare to other businesses?

5. Why Benchmark Why ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager Learning to use ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager Key Points

6. Why Property Operators are Benchmarking  Pursue improvements in energy efficiency  Establish a point of reference from which to make comparisons  Baseline

7. Learning to Use Portfolio Manager Perceived barriers to benchmarking –I do not know how –Time consuming –Gaining access to required data

8. Perceived Barrier: I Don’t Know How Energystar.gov/benchmark –EPA conducts free live web seminars –Pre-recorded web seminars –System tour of the tool –Frequently asked questions –Quick Reference Guides Building Benchmarking Starter Kit

9. Perceived Barrier: Benchmarking is Time Consuming Estimated time = 1 – 2 ½ hours Phase I. Initial Benchmarking –Data collection—up to 1-2 hours* –Data input—15-30 minutes Phase II. Monthly updates –5 to 15 minutes * Up to 2 weeks longer if multiple departments are managers of required data.

10. Perceived Barrier: Gaining Access to Required Data Tracking these data points is a core element of good overall management strategies Required data varies with building type, core data for competent building management –Building square footage –One year (minimum) monthly energy consumption from each source (e.g. electricity and natural gas) –Zip code –Occupancy rates –Occupancy hours –Computers or other key equipment (only for rateable spaces)

11. Why Benchmark with ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager Simple metrics –Energy Utilization Index (EUI) for All businesses –1 to100 rating for some businesses Analytical tool based on statistical analysis –National peer comparison –Unbiased –Emissions estimates based on location Comprehensive development process with periodic updates –Extensive research—EPA, DOE, NOAA Industry standard –4+ billion sf has been benchmarked using Portfolio Manager Internationally recognized symbol of superior energy performance and environmental protection

12. Manage Energy Consumption for All Buildings Efficient management of resources requires effective data management. Portfolio Manager helps you streamline your portfolio’s energy data, and track key consumption, performance, and cost information portfolio-wide. For example, you can: –Track multiple energy meters for each facility –Customize meter names and key information –Benchmark your facilities relative to their past performance –View percent improvement in weather-normalized source energy –Monitor energy costs –Share your building data with others inside or outside of your organization Why Use Portfolio Manager?

23. Tracking Campaigns

24. Master Account Example ICBA Bank A Bank B Bank C Branch 1Branch 2Branch 3

25. Percent Energy Reduction Objective: Provide a metric to show a percent change in energy use over time –Creates tracking capability for non-ratable spaces Process: –No additional information required from user –The tool compares energy use between two periods adjusting for weather only

26. Statement of Energy Performance

28. Step 4: Earn Recognition Banks with a rating of 75 or greater are eligible to become an ENERGY STAR labeled Bank Banks that document energy reductions of 10% or more will be recognized Banks may also apply for ENERGY STAR Small Business Awards Recognition as a leader in reducing energy consumption can send a powerful message to today’s environmentally minded consumer
