Benchmarking Your Building

Get accurate data on your building's energy use.

The District of Columbia has been using benchmarking data for nearly a decade to help understand and quantify how both private and District-owned buildings use energy and water. The results are disclosed annually and can be found on the District’s interactive benchmarking map. Guidance on using the map can be found here.

To help you avoid common errors and interpret the information your annual benchmarking data can tell you, as well as navigate the District’s new third-party verification requirement, check out our resources below.
