A new citywide initiative aims to reduce carbon emissions by setting efficiency benchmarks for buildings. 

The Thriving Buildings program from Indianapolis’ Office of Sustainability allows building owners and operators benchmarking capability through the EPA’s Energy Star Portfolio Manager. Buildings can track meter data to identify ways to reduce energy and water usage, compare with other structures, and provide their usage data to the city.

The voluntary program aligns with the city’s Thrive Plan that has a goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.
