Energy Information Portal for Tenants

Log In

In 2009, Vornado rolled out its Energy Information Portal (EIP). The EIP is a web-based tool through which submetered tenants will have access to their electricity bill, and their energy usage profiles and data. We believe this tool can help tenants identify and change wasteful energy practices within tenant spaces, lower electricity costs and become more energy efficient.

Between 60-80% of the energy used in our office buildings is consumed by tenants within their spaces. In developing its energy and sustainability program, Vornado has recognized the opportunity to utilize its existing installed base of approximately 2,500 meters by modifying and upgrading the legacy systems to an "interval data" system and creating the EIP.

This upgraded system and the EIP are designed to help tenants, the users of energy, to better understand their energy usage profile and to hopefully induce a "Prius effect" among tenants to move toward energy efficiency and a decrease in energy usage. Additional benefits can result through increased participation in curtailment and demand side management programs and enhance job creation in the energy services industry. As the tenant consumption decreases it will produce cascading benefits by reducing the load on the main building chillers and HVAC systems by virtue of not having to remove the heat that is associated with the larger tenant energy use.
