Building Energy Benchmarking Deadline Approaching
June 1, 2019 is the deadline to submit your report for California Energy Commission’s Building Energy Benchmarking Program
Assembly Bill 802 (Chapter 590, Statutes 2015) directed the Energy Commission to create a state-wide building energy use benchmarking and public disclosure program for certain buildings. The Commission's regulations require building owners to report building characteristic information and energy use data to the Commission by June 1 annually, for buildings with more than 50,000 square feet of gross floor area that have either no residential utility accounts or 17 or more residential utility accounts. Building owners report their buildings using ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, a free online tool provided by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
