    Chicago Energy Benchmarking

    Metadata Updated: February 7, 2025

    The Chicago Building Energy Use Benchmarking Ordinance calls on existing municipal, commercial, and residential buildings larger than 50,000 square feet to track whole-building energy use, report to the City annually, and verify data accuracy every three years. The law, which was phased in from 2014-2017, covers less than 1% of Chicago’s buildings, which account for approximately 20% of total energy used by all buildings. For more details, including ordinance text, rules and regulations, and timing, please visit www.CityofChicago.org/EnergyBenchmarking

    The ordinance authorizes the City to share property-specific information with the public, beginning with the second year in which a building is required to comply.

    The dataset represents self-reported and publicly-available property information by calendar year. Please note that the "Data Year" column refers to the year to which the data apply, not the year in which they were reported. That column and filtered views under "Related Content" can be used to isolate specific years.
