Chicago Energy Benchmarking

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.
