EnergyScoreCards Minnesota is a two-year effort to implement energy and water benchmarking at hundreds of multifamily buildings in Minnesota to demonstrate that engaging owners, property managers and tenants in managing energy use can measurably reduce utility spending, energy and water consumption and carbon emissions.

The project is a partnership between Minnesota Housing, Minnesota Green Communities, University of Minnesota Center for Sustainable Building Research, the Center for Energy and Environment, and EnergyScoreCards, an online energy management tool for multifamily buildings.

The energy efficiency project is funded by Minnesota Housing and an Emerging Technologies Grant from Xcel Energy.

Minnesota Housing funding will focus on the Corridor of Opportunity in the Central Corridor transit line.
