What is the timeframe?

Benchmarking reports are due on or before June 1, 2023 and will include energy data for January 1, 2022 - December 31, 2022.  

What will the report include?

It includes basic building and property use information as well as a full 12 months of whole-building energy usage (electricity, natural gas, district steam, district hot and chilled water, solar, wind, etc.) for the previous year. 

How do I comply?

You will either submit a benchmarking report or file a waiver and pay the annual $100 fee, per covered building. Only one approved submission is required per building to be in compliance with the State of Colorado.
