  • ECM Summaries

    Building energy conservation measures (ECMs) improve upon the performance and/or cost of a comparable "business-as-usual" technology or operational approach. Use the ECM Summaries page to browse existing ECM definitions or upload a custom set of ECMs.

  • Analysis Results

    ECM energy, CO2, and cost impacts are evaluated for individual ECMs or an ECM portfolio relative to a baseline or “business-as-usual” scenario. Use the Analysis Results page to view interactive results visualizations for existing ECM analyses or upload a custom set of results.

  • Baseline Energy Calculator

    ECMs apply to baseline segments of U.S. energy use and CO2 emissions that bound their ultimate impact potential. Use the Baseline Energy Calculator to determine the potential energy and CO2 market impacts of an ECM or group of ECMs.
