17 <br />data in the Energy Star web-based energy management program, Portfolio <br />Manager. Portfolio Manager allows comparison of a building's energy <br />performance from year to year, as well as against similar buildings across the <br />country. As part of that process, each building that meets certain criteria is given <br />a rating from a low of 1 to the highest rating, 100, that describes how a building <br />compares to similar buildings in using energy. The County has participated in <br />the Energy Star program since 2008. However, for a variety of reasons, Energy <br />Star does not provide a rating, or the rating is not valid, for many County <br />buildings. A list of criteria that a facility must meet in order to receive an Energy <br />Star rating and have that rating be valid is presented below. <br />The building: <br />• Must be over 5,000 Sq. Ft. <br />Have at least 1 year of valid energy data <br />Have no significant changes in use <br />Must be a common building type (excludes the Jail, Animal Services) <br />The criteria eliminated all but a small sub-set of County buildings. For those <br />buildings that have a rating, it is based on data from FY 10. In the following <br />years, this report will include more buildings as they meet the above criteria to <br />get an Energy Star rating and will also show how current buildings' ratings have <br />changed from year to year. <br />Table 3: EPA's Energy Star Rating - FY 10 <br />Facility Name Rating <br />U H RNH M I <br />HISTORIC COURTHOUSE 24 <br />SOUTHERN ORANGE SENIOR CENTER 31 <br />RWHS COMPLEX 31 <br />GOVERNMENT SERVICES ANNEX 33 <br />LINK CENTER 36 <br />MEADOWLANDS ANNEX 38 <br />ANN 42 <br />GATEWAY CENTER 64 <br />SKILLS DEVELOPMENT CENTER 64 <br />ENVIR. & AG.
