Compliance Instructions
The annual benchmarking compliance process consist of the following steps, described in detail below:
In addition to benchmarking annual energy and water consumption, energy audits and retro-commissioning will give building owners a much more robust understanding of their buildings’ performance, eventually shifting the market towards increasingly efficient, high-performing buildings.
Benchmarking

Check the Covered Buildings List (CBL) for your property every year.

Set up an account in ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager® if you do not have one.

Confirm and enter BBL and BIN information (mandatory fields).

Check your data for errors and completeness.

Submit usage data to the City by May 1 through Portfolio Manager®

Energy Efficiency Grading
Owners of properties required to benchmark their energy and water consumption annually prior to May 1 also must obtain and display a Building Energy Efficiency Rating label (if eligible*). * N grade buildings (buildings exempted from benchmarking or not covered by the Energy Star program) are not subject to the posting requirement.
