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.

This dataset includes 2019 calendar year data for each City, Type I, Type II and Type III building that complied with the ordinance.
