Frequently asked questions

Which large Atlanta buildings have the worst energy grades?

null reports the lowest ENERGY STAR score (1) among Atlanta buildings over 50,000 sq ft. Atlanta's CBEEO requires benchmarking and periodic energy audits for commercial buildings over 25,000 sq ft, with fines for non-compliance.

Does a low score mean the building breaks the law?

No. A low ENERGY STAR score is a national efficiency percentile, not a violation. It does correlate with exposure under building-performance standards (carbon caps, retrofit mandates), which is why owners, lenders and retrofit contractors watch these lists.
