You might follow the rules and still get fined under new energy benchmarking laws. That’s the reality many commercial property owners and managers now face. Across cities like New York, Boston, and San Francisco, benchmarking laws are tightening fast—and the penalties are steep. Some property owners have already been hit with fines as high as $2,000 per building, per quarter. These laws are designed to push building energy efficiency, but even small reporting mistakes can lead to big costs. If your energy data isn't submitted properly or on time, you may end up paying for it—literally.
