Building Energy Quotient (bEQ) is a building energy rating program that provides information on a building's energy use. Two separate workbooks, one evaluating As Designed potential and the other assessing In Operation performance, form the foundation of bEQ. bEQ rests on ASHRAE methodologies and standards and the experience of qualified practitioners. These characteristics distinguish bEQ and assure owners that they are receiving reliable and consistent results and recommendations.

bEQFocuses Resources to Provide the Greatest Return

• Determine your building's potential energy efficiency with an As Designed evaluation.

• Improve performance and energy efficiency with an In Operation assessment.

• Use bEQ to make informed decisions managing your real estate portfolio
