SCORE©

-Energy Benchmarking Tool for the Multifamily Industry

Overarching Research Objective:

 

• Create a novel energy benchmarking model for multifamily industry

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unique Features of SCORE©:

 

• A novel peer-to-peer DEA formulation for the multifamily industry

  • A Data Cloud Analysis approach to detect and remove outliers

 

• A strategic tool to identify under-performing units and set energy improvement priorities

 

• An efficiency score based on the Malmquist productivity index to decompose changes in energy efficiency score into two components:

  • Self-Efficiency Change & Peer-Efficiency Change
