How to comply with LL84 benchmarking?

Are you a building owner, manager, or tenant in New York City? Are you confused about what it takes to comply with Local Law 84 (LL84) benchmarking regulations for the energy and water consumption of your building? Look no further—in this blog post, we’ll uncover exactly what LL84 benchmarking entails and how you can achieve compliance. Keep reading to learn more!

What is LL84?

Ll84 is a benchmarking law that requires energy and water data of certain properties in New York to be reported. The energy consumption data is used to create energy efficiency benchmarks, which property owners can challenge through the LL84 benchmarking violation challenge form.

It is important for property owners to accurately report energy and water consumption data because it provides an accurate representation of energy utilization, and water usage and informs building owners of their annual energy efficiency status.

With access to this energy benchmarking data, LLC 84 ensures energy-efficient operations are prioritized and maintained where applicable.

How to comply with LL84 benchmarking?

Complying with Local Law 84 benchmarking can seem a bit daunting, but the existing energy laws have made it relatively simple for building owners.

By using the Energy Star Portfolio Manager, owners and operators of existing two or more buildings can understand their energy performance and use the comprehensive tool to track progress over time.

This tool can also provide insight into what changes should be implemented to improve efficiency in existing covered buildings lists as well as provide evidence that existing measures like LL84 are already being complied with.

All this means that owners and operators can come up with solutions for meeting existing legal requirements on energy performance such as LL84 benchmarking in an efficient, cost-effective way.

Benefits Of LL84 The enactment of Local Law 84 (LL84) in New York City has provided many energy-saving benefits to buildings across the city. LL84 requires annual energy and water benchmarking report, which has allowed building owners to identify energy and water inefficiencies within their own buildings and to develop energy efficiency plans.

The energy benchmarking data compiled by LL84 creates an Energy Star score for each building, giving occupants a simple way to track a building’s energy performance and compare it to similar sized buildings.

Additionally, the results of LL84 have created the NYC Water Performance Map, a public database that includes details such as yearly energy use of all affected buildings over the last two years along with 80 pieces of building information.

By tracking energy and water usage and displaying this data publicly for everyone, LL84 helps ensure that both tenants and building owners are more aware of efficient energy practices.
