If after submitting a District Benchmark Results and Compliance Report to the District, a building owner receives new or updated information that would require an update to a building’s benchmark report, then the building owner shall, within thirty (30) days of receiving the new information, enter the additional or corrected data into Portfolio Manager and authorize the transfer to the District of an updated District Benchmark Results and Compliance Report, and shall notify DOEE accordingly. (§ 3513.9)

All updates to reports already evaluated for Compliance by DOEE must be verified with supplementary documents. DOEE will not automatically update data unless informed, and will not accept updates without the proper verification. Approved updates will be reflected on DOEE’s disclosure database within a week.
Please review the guidance below for acceptable documentation for different adjustment categories. DOEE may ask for additional verification:

• Gross Floor Area (GFA): You MUST submit documentation that clearly demonstrates the declared Building and Parking GFA as described in How do I determine, verify, or correct a building’s Gross Floor Area?
• Energy and/or Water Data: bill copies, or aggregate meter lists.
• Property Use Detail: floor plans, statement from owner/property manager, pictures of the property, tax records, Certificate of Operation. Additional documents acceptable at DOEE’s discretion.
• Other: DOEE will specify necessary documentation.
