YES, IT'S VERMARCABLE
Construction Energy: Electricity Rate & Green-Building Score Benchmarks
A free, platform-curated dataset of public-domain energy benchmarks used to plan and value construction projects: U.S. average retail electricity prices by sector from the EIA plus LEED rating thresholds and ENERGY STAR scoring baselines. It helps estimators, developers, and sustainability consultants sanity-check utility budgets and green-building targets against widely published official figures.
