Energy Benchmarking
Requirement (due Annually)
Most cities or states require an annual Energy Benchmark report for buildings > 20,000 sq. ft. to be submitted. Buy 3 Energy Benchmarks and Get 1 Free! Limited Time offer
The utility data that is required is for 12 months of the previous year’s usage.
Example: In 2023, John submitted Energy Benchmark utility data from the previous year (May 2022-April 2022).
All data is entered into ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager and then submitted to LADBS. Utility information that is required includes Electrical, Gas, & Water. Any building with a high Energy Benchmark score (if applicable) may be able to apply for a Certification that can lead to an exemption on the Energy Audit required once every 5 years.
Audits/RCx Requirement
(due once every 5-10 yrs)
Most cities or states also require building owners to comply with both the annual Energy Benchmark requirement and an on-site inspection* once every 5-10 years. The deadline for each building will vary based on square footage and the last digit of the building ID, APN or Parcel number and will be required to comply every 5-10 years from your original deadline.
