San Jose’s Energy and Water Building Performance Ordinance

In addition to benchmarking requirements, San Jose’s Energy and Water Building Performance Ordinance (2018) requires auditing for buildings that do not meet performance standards (including an Energy Star Score of 75+, LEED status, certain thresholds of recent score improvement, or comparisons against like properties). Underperforming buildings must also either conduct retrocommissioning or undertake efficiency projects identified within the Ordinance.
