B . U.S. Department of Energy’s EnerCop
C . EPA’s ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager
D . U.S. Department of Energy’s EnergyIQ

Answer: C

Explanation:

ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager is an online tool developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that allows building owners and managers to measure and track the energy and water performance of their buildings, as well as benchmark their buildings against similar buildings nationwide. The tool uses a 1-100 ENERGY STAR score to rate the energy efficiency of a building relative to its peers, where a score of 50 represents median performance and a score of 75 or higher indicates top performance1.
