* Tier 2 generally applies to commercial buildings from 20,001 to 50,000 sq ft and multifamily buildings above 20,000 sq ft.
** Benchmarking requires 12 consecutive months of energy data. If energy data tracking is not already in place, the owner may miss the full record needed by the filing deadline, so we recommend starting as soon as possible.

Monitor And Document
Energy data, operating issues, and compliance records are kept organized throughout the tracking period so the filing package does not become a scramble in 2027.
