Data required in the AEBS shall be limited to:
Descriptive Information: Basic descriptive information to track compliance with this ordinance, including but not limited to the building address, the individual or entity responsible for the energy performance summary and energy efficiency audit, and similar information required by the Director for purposes of tracking and reporting compliance.
Energy Benchmark Information: (A) The ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager Energy Performance Rating for the building, wherever applicable; (B) The nonresidential building energy rating established by the State of California for the building, if applicable; (C) The weather-normalized energy use intensity per unit area per year (kETU per square foot per year) for the building: (D) The energy use intensity per unit area per year (kBTUper square foot per year) for the building: (E) The annual carbon dioxide equivalent emissions due to energy use for the building as estimated by ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager or other tools approved by the Director in a manner consistent with Department Climate Action Plan Reporting procedures: and (F) Descriptive information required by Portfolio Manager to assess the property, such as facility gross square footage.
Annual Energy Benchmark Summary Exceptions. Exceptions to energy efficiency audit requirements do not affect the date when an AEBS report is due. However. benchmarking with Energy Star Portfolio Manager is not required under the following conditions:
(l) New Buildings. New buildings may receive an extension to the date of submission of an initial Annual Energy Benchmark Summary report of not less than 24 months from the date that a Certificate of Occupancy is issued by the Department of Building Inspection, or the applicable deadline in the Department of the Environment compliance schedule, whichever is greater. AEBS reports shall be due annually thereafter.
(2) Unoccupied Buildings. Benchmarking with Energy Star Portfolio Manager is not required if the building had less than one full-time equivalent occupant for the twelve-month period preceding the due date of an Annual Energy Benchmark Summary.
