Description
Now that you’ve got your building data in the benchmarking tool, it’s time to take the final step: submission. But there’s more to be gained by going beyond simple compliance. This follow-up session dives into the practical mechanics of meeting California’s local and state benchmarking ordinance deadlines. We will demystify the filing process, showing you exactly how to submit your data independently or how to leverage Measurabl’s expert Ordinance Filing Services to offload the regulatory burden entirely.
But compliance is just the baseline. In the second half of this training, we explore the "hidden gems" of your free account. Learn how to transform your compliance data into actionable insights like identifying energy spikes, tracking performance against global benchmarks, and using your data to communicate value to both internal and external stakeholders. Move beyond the check-box exercise of compliance and start using your benchmarking data to drive building efficiency and financial benefit.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Execute Ordinance Submissions: Understand the specific workflow for filing with California jurisdictions (e.g., AB 802, LA EBEWE, San Francisco SFBEO) directly through the platform.
- Evaluate Managed Services: Compare the DIY filing path against Measurabl’s professional filing services to determine the best use of your team’s time.
- Identify Efficiency Opportunities: Use the platform’s "Spike Detection" and "Gap Analysis" tools to spot operational inefficiencies that are driving up utility costs.
- Leverage Advanced Benchmarking: Interpret "Efficiency Percentile" scores to see how your buildings rank against local and global peers in real-time.
- Set and Track Compliance Targets: Establish building performance targets within the software to visualize exactly how performance needs to improve to meet future Building Performance Standards (BPS) and avoid potential penalties.
