California AB 802

Banner California

Have you received a 60-day Letter of Non-Compliance?

If so, call us at 415-937-5046.

An official-looking letter sent to California building owners has created confusion among those who received the letter.  IT IS NOT FROM THE CEC.  

Per the CEC response, "The CEC Benchmarking Program does not charge a fee to submit reports - Any entity offering to submit CEC-required reports on behalf of building owners is not associated with the CEC.”

In addition, the CEC has not assessed any penalties. The CEC will notify the offending party of the violation and provide 30 days to correct it.  If an owner fails to comply, the owner will be subject to a civil penalty of between $500 and $2,000 for each day the violation exists and continues to exist.

What you need to know:

To comply with AB 802, you do not need to pay $95 per month. Most reputable vendors will prepare your AB 802 report for less than $500 annually.  Pegasus prepares your annual AB 802 benchmark report for less. 

Pegasus has been preparing benchmark reports for over a decade. We have hundreds of satisfied clients. We are a veteran-owned and operated ENERGY STAR Partner.

We have a website, a phone, and an office in California, and we will take your call.  Call us at 415-937-5046. Talk to someone knowledgeable about energy benchmarking and AB 802, not a call center operator or sales person.

Although no penalties have been levied, non-compliance can still create issues for you upon re-financing, at the time of sale, or in other recorded transactions.
