How to Benchmark Training Series

Benchmarking is the cornerstone of NYC building energy legislation.

Benchmarking allows building owners to review their annual energy & water performance metrics and compare the relative efficiency of their buildings to their personal baselines and those of similar buildings.

Local Law 84 in 2009 (amended by Local Law 133 of 2016) requires buildings greater than 25,000 square feet to annually report energy and water consumption to the City by May 1st.

Local Law 33 of 2018 (amended by Local Law 95 of 2019) calls for buildings required to benchmark who are also eligible for the ENERGY STAR score to post an Energy Efficiency Rating Label.
