Generally, U.S. municipal and state benchmarking and disclosure programs have proven effective in reducing building energy consumption and encouraging a strong building energy efficiency market. However, these programs have shortcomings, including lack of standardized, automated, and cost-effective approaches to assess building energy efficiency upgrades at scale. To address these shortcomings, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Johnson Controls, Inc., and ICF International are developing a free, open-source, online, building energy analytic and retrofit targeting tool. This paper discusses the U.S. market{\textquoteright}s need for the tool, analytical methodology, and innovations with industry impact. The outcomes of early pilot applications are also presented.
