To ensure completeness of your benchmarking report, please review the following before submitting:

• Did you check the Covered Buildings List? Is benchmarking required for your property? Is water data required?
  


• Did you enter BBL and BIN under property details (“Unique Identifiers”)?
  


• Do you need to benchmark your property as a campus? If there is more than one building on your tax lot, you probably do.
  • Did you create a parent property with number of buildings > 1
  
  
  • Did you create a child property for each building?
  
  
  • Did you load data for meters that are shared by two or more buildings into the parent property?
  
  
  • Did you load data for meters that are used by a single building into the appropriate building (child?)
  
  


• If your property (tax lot) has only one building, did you indicate that you reported energy use for the whole building?
  


• Have you collected your uploaded data from Con Edison and/or National Grid (see www.nyc.gov/benchmarkingdatarequest)?


• If your property uses fuel oil or any other energy NOT provided by Con Edison or National Grid, have you collected and entered the use data?
  


• If your property uses fuel oil did you mark the meter “by delivery”?
  


• If you are required to benchmark water, have you received data for 2017 from DEP?
  


• Did you deactivate all energy meters that were manually created prior to 2018?
  


• Did you check for possible errors using the error checker in the Summary tab of your property?
  


• Did you download the 2018 reporting template from www.nyc.gov/benchmarkingcomply  and submit your report to NYC? After submitting did you receive your email acknowledgement from Energy Star?
