How to Leverage Technology for Better EBEWE Compliance
Energy and water efficiency are becoming critical benchmarks for evaluating the performance and sustainability of buildings. As urban infrastructure ages and utility costs rise, regulatory programs such as the Existing Buildings Energy and Water Efficiency (EBEWE) Program offer a vital framework for ensuring that large buildings contribute to a greener, more resource-efficient future. More than just a mandate, EBEWE presents an opportunity for property owners and facility managers to adopt smarter technologies that streamline compliance, reduce operational costs, and support long-term environmental goals. The program, initiated by the City of Los Angeles, mandates large buildings (over 20,000 square feet) to benchmark their energy and water usage annually and undergo performance audits every five years....
