NEEA sought to determine the persistence of implemented activities and electricity savings for the Commercial Real Estate (CRE) Market Partners Program (MPP) cohort. The MPP encourages adoption of Strategic Energy Management (SEM) practices to reduce energy use. SEM is a holistic approach to managing energy that involves efficient equipment and behavioral activities and requires engagement from building staff at all levels. NEEA provides technical advice and training to ensure that building managers have the knowledge and tools they need to track and measure energy consumption.
