Avoid $3,000 Fines: We'll Track, File & Prove Your
New Orleans Energy Benchmarking Compliance
The City requires 12 months of data--starting now. We collect your bills, file with ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager, and deliver proof of submission. Zero paperwork on your end.
You Need 12 Months of Data--But Most Owners Don't Realize It Until It's Too Late
New Orleans now requires large buildings to benchmark energy use annually. Miss the deadline? $1,000–$3,000 in fines—per building.
The catch: You need a full year of utility bills before you can file. If your first deadline is May 2026 and you start collecting in January 2026, you're already non-compliant.
Worse, tracking isn't just "download PDFs." You'll need to match meters to suites, reconcile billing gaps, decode mixed-use space types, and navigate ENERGY STAR®'s finicky software—every single year.

Why Smart Owners Outsource This
The Paper Chase
Utility bills live in email archives, tenant portals, and filing cabinets. One missing meter = invalid submission.
The Space-Type Puzzle
Mixed-use building? Portfolio Manager needs exact square footage for 'office,' 'retail,' 'parking,' etc. Guess wrong, and the City flags your data.
The Annual Treadmill
This isn't one-and-done. Every May, forever. Turnover in your office means lost institutional knowledge—and scrambling at deadline.
