Energy Usage Reporting Requirements Are Being Accepted Until September 30

I previously discussed that the Maryland Building Energy Performance Standards that have been established through regulations of the Maryland Department of the Environment (“the MDE”).  The MDE regulations require annual “benchmark reporting” by the owners of buildings to which the program is applicable.  Under this program, building owners are required to report whole building energy consumption data for the previous calendar year.  Energy use information for 2024 must be submitted to the MDE by September 1, 2025.  However, the MDE is now accepting building energy usage reports until September 30, 2025.
