You cannot manage what you do not measure. Benchmarking is the critical first step in building performance diagnostics, providing a clear baseline of your property’s energy and water consumption compared to similar facilities. Beyond satisfying annual local compliance mandates like Local Law 84/133, consistent benchmarking reveals hidden inefficiencies, tracks the success of implemented HVAC electrification upgrades, and identifies immediate opportunities to lower operating costs before strict emissions caps take effect.

Why it matters: Failing to accurately track and report your utility data in the New York metropolitan area will result in immediate administrative fines and blind you to costly building inefficiencies.

The Foundation of Compliance
1
Local Law 84 Compliance
In New York City, annual energy and water benchmarking is not optional—it is a strict legal requirement. We manage the entire Local Law 84 reporting process, ensuring your building’s consumption data is submitted accurately and on time to avoid unnecessary municipal violations.
2
Utility Commercial Rebates
You shouldn’t leave money on the table for efficiency upgrades. We aggressively pursue immediate cash rebates through the NYS Clean Heat Program and Con Edison’s Commercial & Industrial (C&I) incentive programs, significantly buying down the upfront cost of your new mechanical equipment.
3
C-PACE & Green Financing
Deep energy retrofits shouldn’t bankrupt your reserves. For projects requiring heavy capital, we assist in structuring Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) financing. This allows property owners to fund 100% of hard and soft costs with long-term, fixed-rate financing that is offset by the generated energy savings.
