\n<\/strong>Since 2011, New York City's Local Law 84\/09<\/strong><\/a> has required owners of large buildings\u00a0\u2014 single buildings larger than 50,000 SF, or groups of buildings on a single lot larger than 100,000 SF \u2014\u00a0to annually measure their energy and water consumption in a process called benchmarking. Water, electricity, gas, and fuel or steam usage are collected and tracked in an effort to help owners use less energy and save money.<\/p>\n
\nLast October, NYC passed Local Law 133\/16<\/strong><\/a>, which expands the list of buildings required to benchmark to include mid-size buildings 25,000 square feet and larger<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\nAny property on the Covered Buildings List<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0that has not submitted a benchmarking report by the May 1 deadline will receive a Notice of Violation from the NYC Department of Buildings and be fined $500. Continued failure to benchmark will result in a $500 penalty each quarter, up to $2,000 per year.<\/p>\n
