Summary energy and building characteristics by building type for non-residential and multifamily buildings greater than 20,000 square feet that benchmark energy data with the City of Seattle. This dataset summarizes information from the full 2017 Building Energy Benchmarking dataset but excludes likely or known errors.

A. SUMMARY The Existing Buildings Energy Performance Ordinance (Environment Code Chapter 20) requires that each non-residential building with at least 10,000 square feet of conditioned (heated or cooled) space and each residential building with at least 50,000 square feet of conditioned space must be benchmarked annually using Energy Star Portfolio Manager. Each non-residential building specified above is also required to undergo an energy audit, retrocommissioning, or develop a plan for decarbonization at least once every 5 years. More information: San Francisco Existing Buildings Energy Ordinance Website B. HOW THE DATASET IS CREATED The data is sourced from the benchmark and energy audit reports submitted for compliance with Environment Code Chapter 20. The dataset is presented in two tables which together provide basic characteristics, compliance status, and a public record of reported energy performance. C. UPDATE PROCESS This dataset will be updated on a monthly basis. D. HOW TO USE THIS DATASET Existing Buildings - Basic Info and Audit Compliance Status -- This filtered view contains one record per building and provides basic characteristics (such as size and vintage). For commercial buildings, the table indicates when an energy audit or decarbonization plan is due. Existing Buildings - Benchmark Reports -- Each row of this filtered view presents one year of benchmarking data for one building – so there are multiple records per building. One year of data includes compliance status, and if the building complied it also presents energy use data including gas, electricity, steam and EPA-estimated operational carbon emissions. This dataset contains the information of the two views joined on Parcel Number.

The Chicago Building Energy Use Benchmarking Ordinance calls on existing municipal, commercial, and residential buildings larger than 50,000 square feet to track whole-building energy use, report to the City annually, and verify data accuracy every three years. The law, which was phased in from 2014-2017, covers less than 1% of Chicago’s buildings, which account for approximately 20% of total energy used by all buildings. For more details, including ordinance text, rules and regulations, and timing, please visit www.CityofChicago.org/EnergyBenchmarking The ordinance authorizes the City to share property-specific information with the public, beginning with the second year in which a building is required to comply. The dataset represents self-reported and publicly-available property information by calendar year. Please note that the "Data Year" column refers to the year to which the data apply, not the year in which they were reported. That column and filtered views under "Related Content" can be used to isolate specific years.

Listed commercial buildings, both public and private, participating in the County’s benchmarking program. The dataset shows building energy metrics for County-owned and operated and privately held facilities reporting data under the County's Building Energy Benchmarking Law. This dataset is updated annually. Learn more about the program and reporting requirements on DEP’s website: https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/green/energy/benchmarking.html.

Commercial building owners participated in a phased-in reporting since 2012, for buildings 75,000 square feet and larger. Find more information at http://austinenergy.com/go/ecad and http://austinenergy.com/go/reports.
