Energy Benchmarking

Requirement (due Annually)

AB 802 is a statewide requirement for California building owners to benchmark their building’s energy usage and report it to the State of California, known as an “Energy Benchmark”. The State will then publish this data online so that owners can see how each building compares to its peers.

Energy benchmarking is used to assess the energy efficiency of a building on a scale of 1–100, relative to similar buildings nationwide.

Example: In 2023, John submitted Energy Benchmark utility data from the previous year (January 2022-December 2022).
AB 802’s goal is to help building owners save energy and motivate them to participate in whole-building energy efficiency programs, such as the Corporate Efficiency Program, Five Star Efficiency and Energy Upgrade California.
