Compliance
The patchwork of benchmarking ordinances and performance standards is getting denser every year. HarmonyGrid tracks every covered building in your portfolio against every ordinance it touches, and generates the submission packet before the deadline. Every ordinance below links to the primary source — verify thresholds before you rely on them in procurement.
Chicago, IL
Applies to: Commercial, institutional, or residential buildings ≥ 50,000 sq ft.
Annual energy benchmarking report due June 1. HarmonyGrid assembles the Portfolio Manager submission from your utility history and exports the signed verifier packet.

Title 24 is a construction-and-retrofit code, not an annual operational BPS. HarmonyGrid tracks Title 24 impact on planned renovations so you can show the Title 24 compliance pathway alongside operating performance.
