Building Energy Programs

Compliance deadlines

These are deadlines to comply with the citywide Building Energy Performance Program.

Owners of large, non-residential buildings are required to submit tune-up reports, plans, and certifications every five years. The compliance schedule is based on the size of the building. For example, buildings over 200,000 square feet submitted reports for the first time in 2021 and will have to again in 2026, 2031, and so forth.

Buildings began complying with the program according to this schedule:

  • Buildings over 200,000 sq. ft. in 2021.
  • Buildings between 100,000 and 200,000 sq. ft. in 2022.
  • Buildings between 70,000 and 100,000 sq. ft. in 2023.
  • Buildings between 50,000 and 70,000 sq. ft. in 2024.

If you’ve missed a compliance deadline, you still need to submit a report or certification.
