One of these laws, 84\/09, the New York City Benchmarking Law, has been requiring owners of large buildings\u2014single buildings larger than 50,000 square feet of groups of buildings on a single lot that encompass more than 100,000 square feet\u2014to annually measure their energy and water consumption in a process called \u2018benchmarking\u2019.<\/p>\n<h2>Upcoming in 2018<\/h2>\n<p>In October 2016, NYC passed Local Law 133\/16, which extends the list of buildings required to benchmark to include mid-sized buildings of 25,000 square feet and larger. Their owners are expected to benchmark for the first time by May 1, 2018 and by May 1 every year thereafter.<\/p>\n<p>The reports will be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), where they need to register first. Also, they are required to enter utilities data from January 1 to December 31 of the previous year into the EPA\u2019s Energy Star Portfolio Manager.<\/p>\n<p>Buildings that don\u2019t submit their utilities data as required under NYC Benchmarking Law will be fined $500 per quarter, up to $2,000 per year.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy of\u00a0Marriott International Inc.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting with 2018, owners of buildings measuring 25,000 square feet and larger need to submit reports to EPA\u2019s Energy Star Portfolio Manager.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":237,"featured_media":1004182545,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1600,21742,10,21786],"tags":[36497,36496,35174],"class_list":["post-1004182544","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-york","category-latest","category-northeast","category-sustainability","tag-greener-greater-buildings-plan","tag-nyc-benchmarking-law","tag-u-s-environmental-protection-agency"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
