City of Philadelphia Building Energy Performance

Building Energy Performance Program Data Collection and Tracking GIS Dashboard | Energy & GIS Services

SSM has developed a versatile tool and process for gathering data, and tracking and presenting progress on compliance with the City of Philadelphia’s Building Energy Performance Program (BEPP).

All non-residential buildings over 50,000 SF are required to review energy systems and controls periodically to bring them up to a good state of performance – this amounts to a vast and increasing quantity of data.

Developed in ArcGIS Online for desktop or mobile access, the BEPP Workflow gives SSM the capability to standardize and streamline the building tune-up and exemption processes for our clients, as well as provides the City of Philadelphia capability to monitor and share the progress of tune-ups of their own buildings through an ArcGIS Online Dashboard. We can continually optimize the Workflow and Dashboard to the City’s needs, client requests, and BEPP updates.

SSM is committed to helping property owners to save energy, reduce emissions, and improve tenant comfort. Once a BEPP project is underway, this app tracks due date, progress, compliance pathway, and other information. Our GIS platform also collects the data entered on iPads during our field visits, which then populates the required BEPP Excel workbook. This streamlines the entire process, reducing the cost of each tune-up to the client.
