The Evanston Energy and Water Benchmarking Ordinance (33-O16) requires all buildings in Evanston 20,000 square feet and greater to track and report their annual energy and water data to the City. The City then tracks this data and publishes it annually to show how energy and performance have changed over time. This dataset includes 2019 calendar year data for each City, Type I, Type II and Type III building that complied with the ordinance.

For more information on the ordinance, compliance process and rules please visit: www.cityofevanston.org/benchmarking.

The ordinance authorizes the City to share property-specific information with the public, beginning with the second year in which a building is required to comply.
This view shows data for a single year.

This is a list of buildings covered by the energy and water benchmarking ordinance. There may be buildings covered by the ordinance that are not included on this list, omissions from this list does not relieve the building owner from complying with provisions in the ordinance. Please note that properties granted one year exemptions are still considered covered buildings and will need to comply with ordinance provisions or request a new exemption. Additional information about the ordinance and compliance may be found by visiting cityofevanston.org/benchmarking.
