San Francisco Benchmarking Ordinance Now Applies to Multi-family Buildings
The San Francisco ordinance has been updated to include multi-family building 50,000 or more square feet. Benchmarking for residential buildings is due July 1 in 2019, and April 1 every year thereafter.
The Existing Commercial Building Ordinance has become the Existing Building Ordinance. However, the ordinance does not require multi-family buildings to have an Energy Audit.
