Affected building owners must create a Portfolio Manager account prior to entering annual energy data. Register for a Portfolio Manager account online.
Once an account is created, owners can add the building to the account.
In “My Portfolio” click “Add a Property” and carefully read and follow the steps to add your building.
Each building required to report energy performance under Boulder’s Building Performance Ordinance has a unique ID, the Boulder Energy Reporting ID. Adding this ID to your building ensures the usage reported is attributed to the correct building during compliance checks.
To locate your Boulder Energy Reporting ID, find your building on the Affected Building List on the program website. Add the ID to your building in Portfolio Manager under ‘Details’ > ‘Unique Identifiers’ > ‘Standard ID- City/Town’
Building owners must report calendar year (Jan 1 through Dec 31) whole-building energy data. This includes whole-building energy consumption of electricity, natural gas, solar, propane, etc.
Use Xcel Energy’s Benchmarking Portal to set up automatic upload of aggregated whole-building energy data directly into your Portfolio Manager account for the fuels which Xcel Energy provides you.
Manually enter in the Portfolio Manager ‘Energy’ tab all other energy data provided by other parties (such as Tiger Natural Gas).
Once all energy data for the entire calendar year has been entered into Portfolio Manager, owners must run the Data Quality Checker under “Check for Possible Errors” on the Summary tab. Any red errors found related to energy use must be addressed before an energy report can be submitted.
To comply with the Building Performance Ordinance, you must manually submit your energy report to the city through Portfolio Manager every year. Click the required reporting link on the main webpage by selecting “Submit Data to City” in the Boulder Building Performance Resources link on the right sidebar.
