Energy & Water Benchmarking in New Jersey
Due: July 1st, 2025

 

The Clean Energy Act in New Jersey includes a benchmarking requirement designed to promote energy efficiency and sustainability in large buildings.

What Are the Requirements?

Building owners must annually measure and report their energy usage.

Who Needs to Comply?

Commercial buildings that span at least 25,000 square feet, including shopping centers, office buildings, and apartments. (Note: The NJ Board of Public Utilities defines “commercial” by your building’s property tax assessment business class – Class 4A Commercial and Class 4C Apartments are covered classes.)
