PG&E’s Automated Benchmarking Service (ABS)
A new statewide Assembly Bill now requires all non-residential facilities to
report their ENERGY STAR® score at the time of sale, lease, or refinance.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company's (PG&E) new Automated Benchmarking
Service (ABS) is a FREE feature that enables your buildings monthly
energy use to be automatically uploaded into EPA’s ENERGY STAR®

LEED Certification
PG&E can help your business with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, a nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED gives building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their buildings’ performance.

PG&E offers customers a free consultation with a LEED account representative who can help you meet the goals of the LEED program, as well as identify financial rebates and incentives.
