Benchmarking

Compliance & Data Submittal: Data Jams

The next Thriving Buildings compliance period kicks off on Wednesday, January 1, with a submission deadline of Sunday, June 1.

As in 2024, all buildings 50,000 square feet and larger in Marion County must participate. Additionally, the City is working to benchmark as many city-owned buildings as possible.

To support building owners and managers, the Office of Sustainability will host its fourth annual series of Data Jams this spring. These sessions provide hands-on, step-by-step guidance for energy benchmarking, ensuring compliance with Thriving Buildings requirements.
What to Expect at Data Jams:

  • Learn how to set up your ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager account

  • Get assistance entering and managing utility data

  • Learn how to share your data with the City

  • Understand the background and goals of Thriving Buildings

  • Network with other participants to share insights and strategies

Each Data Jam will last approximately 2 hours and offer practical, interactive instruction to streamline the benchmarking process.

Stay tuned! Full details, including dates and registration, will be announced in the new year.
