Start with compliance. Build from there.
Most relationships begin with a deadline. The best ones grow into a simpler way to manage the building's energy decisions.
Did you receive a benchmarking notice?
Honeydew turns the notice into an accurate filing without the annual scramble. We organize the building record, connect available utility portals so you are not scraping bills every month, manage ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, resolve data-quality errors, and track the jurisdiction submission.
Benchmarking measures the building. BEPS asks what comes next.
Building Energy Performance Standards set targets or pathways for covered buildings. The rules, the thresholds, and the dates change by jurisdiction. The sequence does not.
Benchmark
We collect building characteristics and energy usage, plus water where required, upload it into ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, and report it to the jurisdiction each year to generate your score.
Verify
Many jurisdictions require an independent third party, never the benchmarking firm or a building engineer, though some, like Montgomery County, MD, let us verify our own work. We also run the GFA verification, the biggest lever on your score after usage.
Compare
That record is measured against the target, pathway, or emissions limit your jurisdiction applies.
Improve
Operations, technical measures, incentives, timing, and capital decisions get weighed before anyone spends.
Document
Completed work, supporting evidence, and required reports show the jurisdiction how the building complied.
We're not the engineers. We're the conductors.
Honeydew does not perform the engineering or the installation. We diagnose, coordinate, compare, document, and advise, so every recommendation can be judged on what is right for the building.
We provide independent coordination.
We bring owners, engineers, contractors, utilities, vendors, and jurisdiction requirements into one clear plan. Then we keep the work, the deadlines, and the decisions moving in the building's best interest.
One partner across every region we serve.
Every region gets the same jurisdiction review, local-rule research, and human follow-through.

A notice, a deadline, a portfolio, a pile of proposals, or simply a question. You do not need to have it organized before you call.
