percent savings question

What can a commercial building owner expect to save on his utility bills with a building (new construction) that was optimized with an energy model versus one that was built without one? I know the earlier you get an energy modeler on board the better = more savings, but is there a standard rule of thumb like 10-20% utility bills savings? Please advise. Thanks in advance, Brian
