We were excited to see energy benchmarking mentioned in the Chicago Central Area Plan 2045, and to see that they want to expand it to more buildings! Do you know any buildings that would start reporting with this new threshold?

Screenshot showing a page from the Chicago Central Area Plan, 2045, with a highlighted section under "Accelerate building decarbonization" that says "Expand the city's energy benchmarking program for buildings by reducing the threshold for required energy reports from 50,000-square-foot buildings to 25,000-square-foot buildings."
