Atlanta building energy benchmarking
Every building disclosed under Commercial Buildings Energy Efficiency Ordinance (CBEEO) (Building Energy Benchmarking), graded and cross-linked. Atlanta's CBEEO requires benchmarking and periodic energy audits for commercial buildings over 25,000 sq ft, with fines for non-compliance.

Honest data
Source caveats
- Atlanta's public layer is a geocoded analysis dataset: site EUI and ENERGY STAR score only — no emissions, water or fuel figures.
- Roughly 1,800 source rows carry no report year and are excluded.
