On December 13, 2016, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 184674, establishing the Existing Buildings Energy & Water Efficiency Program to reduce energy and water consumption in buildings within the City of Los Angeles. These efficiency improvements will lower energy use, water use, and greenhouse gas emissions citywide.
Effective 2017, owners of the following buildings are required to disclose their buildings’ energy and water consumption, using EPA's ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager® for benchmarking. The City of Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety will use this information to generate annual reports.
Effective January 2019, for privately owned buildings 20,000 sq ft or more or city owned buildings 15,000 sq ft or more subject to this ordinance as described above, initial audits and retro-commissioning reports are due under the schedule provided in the following table and every 5 years thereafter.
