On November 21, Philadelphia City Council passed a bill - Building Energy Performance Policy - requiring owners of large buildings to conduct periodic tune-ups of their energy and water systems.
The legislation builds off the awareness of energy and water use in buildings fostered through city’s benchmarking ordinance by requiring owners to complete low- and no-cost actions to make their buildings more efficient.
Green Building United provided information to our members when this bill was introduced in June and delivered testimony at the bill's hearing in October.
