Benchmarking reporting.
Reno Administrative Code § 14.30.006
in effectSec. 14.30.006. - Benchmarking reporting.
(a) The owner of each covered property shall collect and input all data needed to benchmark the entire property into the benchmarking tool. Whole-building data for the property's energy and water use must be compiled using one or more of the following methods:
(1) Obtaining aggregated whole-building data from a utility company;
(2) Collecting data from all tenants;
(3) Reading a master meter.
(b) The owner of each covered property shall enter data into the benchmarking tool such that the energy and water benchmarking report shall be based on an assessment of the aggregated total energy and water consumed by the whole property for the entire calendar year being reported.
(c) Before submitting a benchmarking report the owner shall run all automated data quality checker functions available within the benchmarking tool, and shall verify that all data has been accurately entered into the tool and correct any errors prior to submitting the benchmarking report to the manager. Where the current owner learns that any information reported as part of the benchmarking submission is inaccurate or incomplete, the owner shall amend the information so reported, and shall provide the manager with an updated benchmarking submission within 60 days of learning of the inaccuracy.
(d) An owner may apply for a time extension to complete and submit a benchmarking report if despite such owner's good faith efforts and was denied an exemption, the owner is unable to complete the required actions prior to the scheduled due date for such submission due to the failure of either a utility provider or a tenant (or both) to provide the owner with information needed to complete this report. For each property, the manager may grant up to two such extensions per year of 45 days each.
