city benchmarking program

The City Benchmarking Program is designed to automate compliance management, reporting, and data analysis for cities managing Energy Star Portfolio Manager® based benchmarking initiatives. Developed in collaboration with the City of Chicago and Institute for Market Transformation to manage benchmarking report data for over 3,000 buildings, the City Benchmarking Program minimizes administration costs and enables on-demand data analysis and reporting. This Program also automates the generation of intuitive energy-use comparison reports driven by the Architecture2030 ZeroTool and Zero Energy Performance Index (zEPI). By automating the compliance management and reporting process, Maalka maximizes program engagement and impact and minimizes cost.

FIRSTVIEW™ Portfolio diagnostics

The Firstview™ Portfolio Diagnostics Program is ideal for cities and municipalities that want to save money and time as they improve the energy efficiency of their building portfolios. The Program is driven by industry leading analytics developed over two decades by the New Buildings Institute (NBI) and supported by Maalka data collection, validation, and reporting capabilities. Each building in the Program will receive an automated NBI FirstView™ Report, which provides data-driven performance comparisons to similar buildings across the country and advanced analytics that help your city prioritize energy efficiency investments and improvement strategies. With the Portfolio Diagnostics Program, you can follow an established EE framework adopted by cities across the U.S.
