Download Data from ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager®

BETTER allows data import from ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager®. There are two ways to download the data from Portfolio Manager®: (1) download the entire portfolio to Excel, or (2) custom download. We recommend users to download the data with the customized option because it allows users to select specific buildings and information that are needed. Below is a step-by-step guidance of how to download the data from Portfolio Manager.
