SustainPVD Municipal Energy Report FY2015

The Providence Municipal Energy Report discloses the City’s energy
data in an effort to track progress towards the City’s energy goals,
increase transparency, and lead by example. The City’s 2014 Sustainable
Providence plan set a goal to reduce energy consumption 30 percent
by 2030. Measuring and monitoring consumption by benchmarking
buildings is an important first step to achieving this goal. Benchmarking
is a means of comparing a building’s energy use to the average of
similar buildings or to an established baseline.

普罗维登斯市政能源报告揭露了该市能源数据，旨在追踪实现能源目标的过程，提升透明度，并树立典范。2014年，普罗维登斯可持续普罗维登斯计划设定了一个目标，即到2030年将能源消耗减少30%。通过将建筑物的能耗与类似建筑的平均能耗或既定基准进行对比，测量和监控能耗是达成此目标的重要第一步。基准对比是一种比较建筑物能耗的手段，将其与相似建筑的平均能耗或既定基准相对比。
