May 1st is the annual benchmarking deadline for San Jose Energy and Water Building Performance Ordinance.
San Jose Energy and Water Building Performance Ordinance (San Jose BPO) is a city law that requires all building owners whose properties located within the City of San Jose and are over 20,000 square feet or more to conduct energy and water benchmarking annually and to verify or improve their building performance every five years (starting in 2022).
Every year energy and water usage data is required to be collected and submitted to the City of San Jose Environmental Services Department by May 1st each year. Failure to comply will result in fines and legal violations.
