SustainPVD Municipal Energy Report FY2016

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.
