Philadelphia passed the Energy Conservation Ordinance in 2012. Building Owners are required to benchmark building energy use.

The Energy Conservation Ordinance passed on June 1, 2012. Non-residential buildings of more than 50,000 square feet are required to benchmark energy and water consumption through Energy Star’s Portfolio Manager.

Deadlines: Every year by June 30. The city imposes a fine of $300 for the first 30 days an owner fails to comply and $100 for each subsequent day.
