• The building is scheduled to be demolished within one year of the reporting data
• The building was already benchmarked for your city ordinance

Exceptions

The ordinance does not apply to condominiums.

The report is not required if more than half of the building's gross floor area is used for 

• Industrial (manufacturing, fabrication, processing) purposes 

• Scientific experiments requiring a controlled environment.

   

Penalty for Non-Compliance 

The CEC will notify the offending party of the violation and provide 30 days to correct the violation. 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.
