Dear all,

For benchmarking a building's energy performance, I understand that Target
Finder helps with proposed designs and portfolio manager helps with existing
buildings.

Is the set of background information against which a building in question is
benchmarked same for both the processes? If one needs to do a quick and
dirty calculation for an existing building even before officially starting
work on a project, would it be acceptable to run the existing building
utility information via target finder to see where it stands in relation to
regional average and in terms of energy star score? (I ask this because
setting up a project in portfolio manager takes considerable time).

Thanks,
