Newly translated tool will help more building owners and managers save energy, save money, and reduce emissions from commercial and multifamily buildings

Today, Sept. 19, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced the launch of a Spanish-language version of ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, its popular online energy measurement and tracking tool for commercial buildings. Spanish-speaking building owners, managers, and tenants can now create a free, secure account in Portfolio Manager to manage their property’s energy use, water use, waste generation, and greenhouse gas emissions — all in their native language.

“ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager is the industry-standard tool — already used to measure more than 22% of all commercial floor space in the United States,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “Increasing accessibility to the tool for Spanish-speaking facility owners, managers, and occupants will provide their businesses with the data and insights to drive energy efficiency improvements, cost savings, and meaningful reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.”
