Benchmarking is the practice of comparing the measured performance of a device, process, facility, or organisation to itself, its peers, or established norms, with the goal of informing and motivating performance improvement. When applied to energy use, benchmarking serves as a mechanism to measure energy performance of a single product or service over time. We have published energy consumption benchmarks for five key sectors. Based on survey inputs, targeting organisations to go for incremental levels of energy efficiency these benchmarks are revised, and the revised benchmarks are expected to be published this year. If a product or service performs lower than the standard, the benchmark offers a realistic energy goal. Then systematic energy management - establishing action plan, implementing strategies, monitoring energy consumption and continuous improvement - can be practiced.

Benchmarking is useful for state and local government property owners and facility operators, managers, and designers. It facilitates energy accounting, comparing a facility's energy use to similar facilities to assess opportunities for improvement, and quantifying / verifying energy savings. Currently benchmark regulation has been drafted for Finanacila and retail sector and will be gazette by 2022.
