San Jose energy benchmarking, filed properly and on time.
If your building is covered, you owe an annual energy filing to the City of San Jose. We collect the utility data, build the record, and file it, and we tell you early if the building was never covered at all.
Dates and thresholds change. We confirm the current requirement for your specific building before anyone acts on it.
What the filing is, and what makes it hold up.
Benchmarking is a measurement exercise. Once a year you report whole-building energy use, floor area, and how the space is used. It does not by itself require you to change anything about the building.
What it does is set the number every later obligation runs on, from your performance position to the questions lenders and appraisers ask. A filing made with the wrong square footage or a missing meter quietly becomes a compliance problem a year or two later.
There is no third-party verification requirement here today, which means the quality control on the record is ours to own rather than a regulator’s to catch.
How we get you compliant
The same sequence every time, tuned to what San Jose actually asks for.
One early deadline decides your options for the whole year.
San Jose exemptions close on April 1, a month before the report is due. That ordering is counterintuitive and it is where owners lose the ability to reduce scope legitimately.
Everything else here is routine, provided the PG&E authorisation was started early enough.
What a San Jose notice usually means.
The dates in a San Jose letter are the point.
Send us the letterSend us the letter itself, not a summary. We read it for the six things that decide the response: who sent it, which building and identifier it names, what period it covers, what it says you failed to do, the cure date, and whether it is a first notice or an escalation. We never quote a running penalty total, and we cure first, then talk to the regulator.
Why owners hand San Jose to Honeydew
We file across twenty-six jurisdictions and track the rule changes in each one rather than working from last year’s version.
