San Franciso Benchmarking Ordinance Now Includes Multi-family Buildings

Published on January 13, 2020 by Charles Orr to in San Francisco ECBO,

San Francisco’s Existing Commercial Building Ordinance is now the Existing Building Ordinance.

Benchmarking for multi-family buildings 50,000 square feet or more was due July 1^st, 2019 and then on April 1st every year thereafter. Condominium Associations with 50,000 square feet or more must comply.

However, multi-family buildings are not required to have an energy audit.

This brings the ordinance in line with AB 802 for multi-family buildings and benchmarks submitted to the city satisfy the AB 802 requirement.
