Ontario’s Energy and Water Reporting and Benchmarking (EWRB), Ont. Reg 506/18 Window Is Now Open for 2024! + City of Toronto By-law 367 requires EWRB reporting to the City database

The 2024 EWRB window for Ontario Regulation 506/18 is open and, for the first time, the City of Toronto requires properties to report, per Toronto By-law Chapter 367. The good news? The extra work is NOT significant.

Reporting and benchmarking building performance is the first step to managing utility costs. It provides large buildings owners an opportunity to review their building’s performance and compare how their buildings performs compared with similar buildings. Using this information can help lower operating costs, improve environmental performance and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. 

See our video below to help understand EWRB:

This new requirement for 2024, under the Toronto By-law Chapter 367, requires buildings exceeding 50,000 sqft to report 2023 Energy and Water usage by Tuesday, July 2, 2024. Buildings over 100,000 sqft must report through a licensed professional. This obligation aligns with the existing requirement under Ontario Regulation 506/18, through which building owners were already required to report energy and water data to the Province of Ontario by July 1st.

The good news is that, as Licensed Professionals, we can complete both at the same time, at no additional cost!
