Written by In today’s world, energy efficiency and sustainability are more than just buzzwords; they are essential practices for any business looking to thrive. The Energy Benchmarking Ordinance, known as EBEWE (Existing Buildings Energy and Water Efficiency), has become a vital tool for property owners and managers striving to reduce energy consumption, lower costs, and meet regulatory compliance. At Inland Empire Energy, we specialize in helping you navigate EBEWE benchmarking requirements while unlocking the full potential of energy savings.
What is EBEWE Benchmarking?
EBEWE is a mandatory program designed to track and report the energy and water use of existing buildings. Initially implemented in Los Angeles, it aims to encourage energy efficiency and identify opportunities for improvement by providing a clear picture of building performance. Property owners of buildings over a certain size are required to annually submit energy and water consumption data, making benchmarking a critical component of environmental stewardship and operational cost management.
Why EBEWE Matters
Energy benchmarking not only ensures compliance with local regulations but also allows property owners to assess the performance of their buildings against similar properties. This comparison highlights areas where energy and water efficiency can be improved, which translates into cost savings, reduced environmental impact, and higher asset value. Furthermore, participation in EBEWE reflects your commitment to sustainability, a factor that appeals to eco-conscious tenants and investors alike.
