Introduction
Residential property utility consumption benchmarking has become an increasingly important topic in recent years as the demand for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly buildings continues to grow. Benchmarking allows property owners and managers to compare their utility consumption to similar properties in order to identify areas for improvement and potential cost savings. This final project aims to explore the significance of residential property utility consumption benchmarking, as well as provide a comprehensive analysis of the current literature and methodologies used in this field.
