Access to building energy consumption data at scale is the key to unlocking efficiency, decarbonization, and strategic energy management, but it remains a significant hurdle. Utilities’ account-based models often fall short in providing data for multifamily and mixed-use buildings, creating gaps just as regulatory demands are increasing through initiatives like Building Performance Standards and the Inflation Reduction Act. The real issue isn’t just the need for data but understanding the complexities utilities face in providing it. This work aims to demystify these challenges and present best practices for improving data access, in line with the realities utilities deal with daily.
