Winnipeg Energy Benchmarking

As part of its commitment to Winnipeg’s Climate Action Plan, the City of Winnipeg (City) has created the Building Energy Disclosure Project (BEDP). This initiative is aimed at helping Winnipeg commercial and institutional building owners better understand the energy performance of their buildings while supporting overall reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption.

Participating in BEDP will help organizations identify, develop, and implement energy efficiency improvement opportunities in their buildings and reduce their GHG emissions. These types of programs enable the review of building energy usage to better understand performance, allow for comparisons to be made between building types and available national averages, and help building owners make more informed energy improvement investment decisions.

If you own or manage any commercial building of at least 20,000 square feet, you are eligible to participate. This is a voluntary requirement so there are no mandatory requirements.

Every June 1 for commercial, residential, and municipal buildings greater than 50,000 square feet.

All energy utilities including electricity, natural gas, district energy, and any other purchased fuel type used to operate your building.

Building owners must report their energy usage data to EPA’s Portfolio Manager, a reporting tool that allows building owners to compare their building’s energy efficiency with similar buildings.

However:
