Meet your local and state ordinance deadlines with ease
Failing to report energy, water and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions benchmarks or missing a compliance deadline can result in more than just monetary costs. From fees and penalties to embarrassing public violation disclosures, no property owner, facility manager or asset manager wants the hit to their wallet or reputation. To both investors and communities, offering transparency about local ordinance compliance plus a clear understanding of a property's energy use are vitally important.
UL Solutions makes this easy with an expert and effective way to stay up-to-date and compliant with local and state ordinance requirements. Take the steps to meet them now — scroll below to locate your city/state, ordinance type and required compliance due date.
