Q: Do I need to submit a benchmarking report for my building?
JA: We’re glad you asked! Here’s what you need to know about benchmarking reports:
Property owners of buildings that appear on the covered buildings list for LL84 must submit annual benchmarking reports by May 1 of each year. Building owners must also display an energy label with their most recent energy efficiency score in a conspicuous manner near each public entrance of the building before October 31 of every year.
Fines for noncompliance can go up $1250 per violation, so if you haven’t yet filed your benchmarking report, we suggest you do so immediately!
