      NOTE:
    1.       Applications for certification of plant energy performance to the US EPA must be made within 12 months of Period Ending date. Plants that apply for recertification must use the subsequent 12-month period of continuous data if the plant was certified the previous year, unless an exception has been discussed with and granted by the US EPA. Award of the ENERGY STAR is not final until approved by the US EPA.

    2.       All energy performance scores and supporting data must first be verified by the US EPA or a US EPA-designated EPI reviewer if supporting data is considered to be proprietary before submitting applications for the ENERGY STAR.

    3.       An energy performance score of 75 is the minimum required score to be considered eligible for the ENERGY STAR.

    4.       Estimates of energy and CO2 emissions savings are provided to illustrate the difference between the benchmarked plant's energy use and estimated CO2 emissions as compared to "an average plant" that is defined as having an energy performance score at the 50th percentile.

      The fuel mix used to estimate emissions data for the average plant is the same as for the benchmarked plant. These estimates are provided to assist plants with communicating their energy and environmental achievements.

        ENERGY STAR for Industry
        U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
        Mail Code 6202A Washington, DC 20460

        Dear ENERGY STAR for Industry:
        As the corporate energy director for [name of company], I am writing to nominate the following plant(s) for award of the [Year] ENERGY STAR:

        [Plant name]
        [Plant street address] [Plant city, state, zip code]
        [Repeat for additional plants]

        As documented by the attached Statement of Energy Performance, I affirm that the aforementioned plant meets the conditions necessary to qualify for the ENERGY STAR, including an Energy Performance Score in the top quartile of the most current version of the ENERGY STAR Energy Performance Indicator for this type of plant, or for petroleum refineries, scoring within the top quartile of the Solomon-EII(TM) scoring system.
        I have personally examined and am familiar with the information contained in this Application. The information is based on reasonable inquiry and is, to the best of my knowledge, true, accurate, and complete. I have no reason to believe the plant would not meet all EPA program requirements for receiving the ENERGY STAR.
        I am submitting this application within one year of the period ending date on the enclosed Statement of Energy Performance. I understand EPA reserves the right to request and review any records which support the data used to produce the Energy Performance Score for this plant. I also certify that I am maintaining a formal certification file on this plant in accordance with EPA's formal certification file requirements. Furthermore, I agree to associate the ENERGY STAR name and logo only with the aforementioned plant and to adhere to ENERGY STAR's Identity Guidelines.

        Sincerely,

                                                       Approved while under OMB

                                       The simple choice for energy efficiency.
                                                                               
              Eligibility:	This award is open to ENERGY STAR energy efficiency program sponsors, service and product providers, state and local governments, and/or other partner organizations that have demonstrated innovation in increasing access to the data required by EPA's ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager tool, and/or expanding the use of the data and building performance metrics available from it.
              Multiple partner organizations may apply for this award together, as appropriate, when efforts were collaborative in nature. Please remember to review and complete PART 1: General Instructions & Executive Summary before completing this part of your application.

  Description: The goal of this award is to recognize partners who have demonstrated innovation in:
              oo                  Increasing the flow of data into Portfolio Manager; and/or
              oo                  Using the data and metrics from Portfolio Manager to drive improvements in commercial, industrial, or multifamily building energy performance and other environmental objectives.

              This award is intended to recognize initiatives that demonstrate breakthrough or precedent- setting innovations. As appropriate for their initiatives, applicants should be able to substantiate how their work:

              oo                  Represents a breakthrough or precedent-setting innovation;
              oo                  Reaches new or underserved markets; or increases scale in established customer segments;
              oo                  Increases the availability of building energy performance data to the public, including key stakeholders;
              oo                  Incorporates ENERGY STAR tools, resources and branding; and
              oo                  Deploys new technologies or implementation approaches.

              Given the emphasis on innovation, this award will not recognize a partner for the same activity more than once, nor will it recognize well-established, on-going activities, programs, products and services.[1]

              Criteria:	EPA anticipates that a diverse range of activities, programs, products and services will compete for this award. The most competitive applications will be those that clearly address ENERGY STAR program objectives, while reducing or removing key market barriers. Awards for data innovation will be made primarily using the following two criteria:

              Increasing the flow of data into Portfolio Manager

              This criterion pertains to innovative efforts to make it easier to obtain the data required to benchmark in Portfolio Manager or to transfer that data into Portfolio Manager.

              The following are examples of the types of activities, programs, products and services that would compete in this category:



  [1] These types of notable efforts to support benchmarking and the use of energy performance data meet key requirements for ENERGY STAR awards in other categories and should be included in those applications.

              oo                  A utility that simplifying or automating the process of mapping meters to buildings to provide customers with whole-building, aggregate consumption data.
              oo                  An energy information services company automating a direct data feed from a building automation system to Portfolio Manager.

To limit the size of attachments, some applicants have found it helpful to prepare a slide set with multiple examples of outreach included on just a few slides.

    Section 2  -  Demonstration of Energy Savings
    This section of the application focuses on actual energy performance improvements achieved by your organization during the past year. Your application will be judged on the magnitude of your 2019 improvements as well as your current energy performance relative to your peers.

    While 2019 savings are the focus of this section, you are encouraged to report and illustrate the cumulative accomplishments of your efforts (e.g., dollars saved since program began, total energy saved since "x date in the past," etc.) When highlighting cumulative accomplishments, include a timeframe for the longer-term accomplishments (e.g., saved $3 million in 2019 and more than $10 million since 2001).

    Please note that commercial and institutional building partners will respond to section A only, and industrial partners will respond to section B only.
    A.        Commercial and Institutional Building Partners
    All Commercial and Institutional Building Partners must summarize and provide a POY Report from Portfolio Manager showing organization-wide improvements. This POY Report must be generated for the period ending August 2019 or later. Additional supplemental guidance for generating this report can be found at www.energystar.gov/awards.

    In your summary, please provide one or more equivalency statements for your energy savings by equating them to a metric related to your business or industry, or other financial or environmental metrics. Examples include:
          oo              Number of first-year teachers that could be hired

    **Calculate using 12 months of continuous data. Due to the deadline for this application, it is acceptable to complete the 12-month period using data from the final two months in 2018, e.g. the data period could be from November 2018 through October 2019.
    ***Selection of the specific year is at your discretion. If 2019 represents the first year for which energy was tracked, please enter "not available" in rows 7 and 8.

    Lines 7 and 8 in the table are requested to enable a view of your energy program's long-term energy savings. To further illustrate these long-term savings, you may provide equivalent dollars saved along with carbon dioxide emissions prevented for the equivalent period.

    You may provide a summary report from your corporate tracking system that includes this information. In addition to the information above, if ENERGY STAR has provided your industry with a plant Energy
    Performance Indicator (EPI), please provide ratings for each plant you have scored in the past year. If scores have improved over time for a plant, show that information as well. Additionally, provide results and accomplishments of plants taking the ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry.

    It is helpful to EPA to understand changes in business activity that may have impacted energy use in the past 12-month period. Provide an explanation when appropriate. In addition, describe any efforts to normalize data, such as accounting for weather, climate differences, or other business effects.

    In your summary, please provide one or more equivalency statements for your energy savings by equating them to a metric related to your business or industry, or other financial or environmental metrics. Examples include:
       oo           Number of socks that would have to be sold to equal the value of energy saved
       oo           Number of cars that would have to be sold to equal the value of energy saved

    ENERGY STAR. These materials should be submitted electronically with the application and include proper use of the ENERGY STAR logo in accord with the ENERGY STAR Brand Book.

    Please note that EPA is not looking for entire PowerPoint presentations, but, rather, excerpts of slide sets where ENERGY STAR was highlighted. This helps reduce the length of attachments and allows the strongest examples to be demonstrated. To limit the size of attachments, some applicants have found it helpful to prepare a slide set with multiple examples of outreach included on just a few slides.

    Section 3  -  Demonstration of Energy Savings
    This section of the application focuses on actual energy performance improvements achieved by your organization during the past year. Your application will be judged on both the magnitude of your improvements in 2019, as well as your current energy performance relative to your peers.

    While 2019 savings are the focus of this section, you also are encouraged to report and illustrate the cumulative accomplishments of your efforts (e.g., dollars saved since program began, total energy saved since "x date in the past," etc.) When highlighting cumulative accomplishments, include a timeframe for the longer- term accomplishments (e.g., saved $3 million in 2019 and more than $10 million since 2001).

    Please note that commercial and institutional building partners will respond to section A only, and industrial partners will respond to section B only.

    A.        Commercial and Institutional Building Partners
    All Commercial and Institutional Building Partners must summarize and provide a POY Report from Portfolio Manager showing organization-wide improvements. This POY Report must be generated for the period ending August 2019 or later. Additional supplemental guidance for generating this report can be found at www.energystar.gov/awards.

    In your summary, please provide one or more equivalency statements for your energy savings by equating them to a metric related to your business or industry, or other financial or environmental metrics. Examples include:
       oo           Number of first-year teachers that could be hired
       oo           Number of MRI machines that could be purchased
       oo           Number of hotel rooms that could be rented

    B.        Industrial Partners (NAICS 21, 31-33)
    The entire table must be included in your narrative. Please provide a summary of your organization-wide energy performance, and copy the completed table into your narrative. If your company's energy program is global, you may choose to include all operations worldwide or only the operations in the U.S. Please identify whether the information you share is U.S. only or global. Please be sure to use the proper units and intensities as stated in the table.

    **Calculate using 12 months of continuous data. Due to the deadline for this application, it is acceptable to complete the 12-month period using data from the final two months in 2018, e.g. the data period could be from November 2018 through October 2019.
    ***Selection of the specific year is at your discretion. If 2019 represents the first year for which energy was tracked, please enter "not available" in rows 7 and 8.

    Lines 7 and 8 in the table are requested to enable a view of your energy program's long-term energy savings. To further illustrate these long-term savings, you may provide equivalent dollars saved along with carbon dioxide emissions prevented for the equivalent period.

    You may provide a summary report from your corporate tracking system that includes this information. In addition to the information above, if ENERGY STAR has provided your industry with a plant Energy
    Performance Indicator (EPI), please provide ratings for each plant you have scored in the past year. If scores have improved over time for a plant, show that information as well. Additionally, provide results and accomplishments of plants taking the ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry.

    It is helpful to EPA to understand changes in business activity that may have impacted energy use in the past 12-month period. Provide an explanation when appropriate. In addition, describe any efforts to normalize data, such as accounting for weather, climate differences, or other business effects.

    In your summary, please provide one or more equivalency statements for your energy savings by equating them to a metric related to your business or industry, or other financial or environmental metrics. Examples include:
       oo           Number of socks that would have to be sold to equal the value of energy saved

                      Directions for Generating a Partner of the Year (POY) Report
    Step 1. Go to https://www.energystar.gov/portfoliomanager to log in to ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager.

          Step 2. Log in to the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager account that contains all of the buildings and benchmarking data for your organization. You must submit building data for your organization's entire portfolio. If you cannot provide benchmarking data for certain buildings, or the buildings are not reflected in the account, be sure to address this in Section 2 of the application.


    Step 3. Click on the "Reporting" tab.

          Step 4. Identify the "Partner of the Year Report" in the list of reports at the bottom of the page. A screenshot of the "Reporting" tab and the list of reports available is provided below.




          Step 5. From the drop-down box in the "Action" column next to the report name, select "Generate New Report." You will then be taken to a screen titled "Create Partner of the Year Report," as illustrated below.

    Step 6. In the "Create Partner of the Year Report" screen, you must choose a timeframe for the report.
    	3	


          To choose a timeframe, you must select "Compare Two Years" from the drop-down menu, as illustrated in the screenshot above. The second period must be August 2019 or later, and should be the month for which you have complete energy data for the greatest number of buildings in your portfolio. The first period should be the same month one year prior. For example, the screenshot above will generate a report comparing August 2018 to August 2019.

    Step 7. In the "Create Partner of the Year Report" screen, you must also select properties to include in the report.

          You must choose "All Properties" from the drop-down menu, unless you have test or duplicate buildings in your account. In this case, select "Multiple Properties" from the drop-down and select all non-test or duplicate buildings to submit.

          Please ensure that all non-test or duplicate benchmarked properties appear in the report, even if you do not have 24 months of data for all properties in your portfolio. ENERGY STAR asks you to do this because it is important to demonstrate the extent to which you are benchmarking the properties in your portfolio.

          This screen also provides a list of metrics that are included in the report, provided under "Review Included Metrics." You cannot change this selection of metrics.

          Step 8. Click "Generate Spreadsheet" to generate the report. You will now be returned to the main page of the "Reporting" tab.

            Step 9.	In the list of "Templates and Reports" on the "Reporting" tab, you will see that your report has been generated, as illustrated in the screenshot below. In the "Action" column of the "Partner of the Year Report" row, use the drop- down menu to select "Download Current Report in Excel."




            Open the Excel document that is generated to view your data. When you do, you will see three tabs.

             oo                 Tab 1 "Summary" contains the table you must paste into Section 3A of your Partner of the Year

             oo                 Tab 2 "Information and Metrics" contains two rows for each of the buildings in your portfolio: one row contains data corresponding to the August 2019 (or later) period that you have selected, and the other line contains data corresponding to the comparison period selected, which should be 12 months prior.

             oo                 Tab 3 "Comparisons" contains one row for each building. The tab provides the calculated difference between the two time periods reported on the "Information and Metrics" tab for each metric.

            With the information provided in this report, you can describe the energy consumption characteristics of your portfolio to demonstrate improvement, or give context for instances where little or no improvement is observed.

             The public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 14 hours per response. Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of automated collection techniques to the Director, Collection Strategies Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (2822T), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, D.C. 20460.
