AB 802 at a glance
What is AB 802 energy benchmarking?
California requires owners of certain large commercial and multifamily buildings to report whole-building energy-use information each year.
Reporting is completed through ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, where property and utility data are organized, reviewed, and submitted to the California Energy Commission.

How we help
You provide the property list. We manage the compliance process.
Acting as your authorized agent, we coordinate property setup, utility data, meter review, troubleshooting, quality checks, and final submission to the California Energy Commission.
Property and Portfolio Manager Review
Review property details, reporting status, identifiers, and existing ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager records. We also create or correct the property setup when needed.
Utility and Meter Coordination
Manage automated utility connections, manual data requests, authorization requirements, and meter setup across the property.
Data Review and Troubleshooting
Investigate missing usage, duplicate meters, gaps, inconsistencies, and Data Quality Checker issues before submission.
Compliance Review and Submission
Confirm the information, complete quality checks, submit the required report to the CEC, and retain the confirmation records.
What we need from you
Minimal effort on your side
To get started, provide a list of your properties and addresses. We prepare any required letters of authorization for your signature. If a property is not already set up in ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, we work with you to confirm the building details needed to create it correctly.
Compliance letter support
I received an AB 802 compliance letter. What now?
A compliance notice can feel urgent, but the next steps are manageable when you know what to review.
Review the Notice
Confirm the property address, reporting year, building ID, stated issue, and any response date.
Verify the Reporting Status
Determine whether the report is missing, incomplete, associated with the wrong property, or affected by a utility-data issue.
Address It Early
Utility authorizations, missing meters, and data corrections can take time. Acting early gives you more room to resolve the problem.
