Understanding Report Details: 

Property Type Charts:

The first section within the report is a visual representation of your portfolio and the estimated Energy Star score for each property in real-time. The properties are broken down by Energy Star score in both a circle chart and graph. To view the property count of a specific section, hover over the respective type.

The following definitions are related to the right-side bar graph and status.

  • Certifiable Score - The property has an energy star score that is high enough to meet the certification requirement & may be eligible to be certified (75 or over)
  • Ineligible Score - The property has an energy star score that is lower than the minimum required to get certified (under 75)
  • Unavailable Score - There is no Energy Star account connected to the property in Backpack likely because the property does not have enough information in the Backpack to create a score or it it not a property type supported by Energy Star

Energy Star Score Rollup:

The Energy Star score rollup section goes a level deeper into the energy star information available for the portfolio displaying the number of current certified properties as well as other useful metrics.

  • Properties with Energy Star - the total number of properties that have an energy star portfolio manager account linked to Backpack.
  • Total Certified Properties- the total number of properties that are currently Energy Star certified.
  • Median Energy Star Score - The middle value energy star score across all the properties in the portfolio.
  • Ineligible Score - The property has an energy star score that is lower than the minimum required to get certified (under 75)
  • Unavailable Score - There is no Energy Star account connected to the property in Backpack likely because the property does not have enough information in the Backpack to create a score or it it not a property type supported by Energy Star
  •  Total Properties Eligible for Certification - number of properties with a score of 75 or above, this does not mean the property can be approved for certification by the EPA, only that the score is high enough, the Backpack team can evaluate the property for certification after approval of the services, contact your customer success manager for more information
