VertPro® Insights #17 – End Of Year Wrap Up

360 Compliance Check With or Without Portfolio Risk Assessment 

Start 2026 with total visibility across your building or your entire portfolio. VertPro’s 360 Compliance Check is the fastest way to surface what’s missing, what’s due, and what’s at risk. From audits and benchmarking to emissions rules and documentation, we track it all by city, by deadline, and by building. 

Need deeper insight across multiple cities? Add the Portfolio Risk Assessment. We’ll give you a custom heatmap showing your 2026 deadline clusters, rank buildings by risk, and help you phase filings and upgrades smartly before enforcement notices start going out. 

This one-time check covers benchmarking accuracy, upcoming audit due dates, documentation status, and exemption opportunities. It’s the simplest way to avoid Q1 stress, uncover risk before it’s public, and align capital projects with emissions rules in each market.

📊 Benchmarking 2026: What You Need to Do Now

Data readiness = smoother filings + higher NOI. 

If your building is due to benchmark in 2026, now’s the time to prep. Benchmarking breakdowns are rarely about rules they’re about missing or incorrect data. Start by gathering utility releases, verifying active meters, and confirming that your occupancy and space types are accurate. Then check that your Portfolio Manager setup is correct and your property IDs match the latest records. Finally, set internal deadlines 30 to 45 days before the official due dates in your city. This gives you time to fix errors, request corrections, and avoid last-minute scrambles that lead to failed submissions or fines.

🛠️ Beat the Backlog: Reserve Your 2026 Audit Window Early

Q1 fills first early audits uncover savings before summer loads. 

Energy audits follow a tight process: kickoff meeting, site walkthrough, data review, engineering analysis, and final reporting. Each phase depends on fast access to clean data like interval trends, equipment logs, and utility use. But when teams delay scheduling, things get bottlenecked fast. And with demand rising in cities like San Jose, NYC, and San Francisco, Q1 slots are already being claimed. Early audits don’t just give you peace of mind, they can also reveal cost-saving upgrades ahead of high-demand summer seasons and open the door to local rebates. Book early, and you’ll get both better results and better timing.

📦 Two Birds, One Site Visit: Bundle Benchmarking & Audits

One workflow = less disruption, better analytics, faster decisions. 

Benchmarking and audit requirements often overlap. The same utility meters, interval data, and system inventories power both submissions. By bundling the two services into a single process, you reduce disruption at the site level, avoid scheduling multiple walkthroughs, and get cleaner, more actionable reporting. It also simplifies ROI modeling for upgrades like HVAC, lighting, and building controls since both reports rely on the same performance snapshots. With one point of contact and one consolidated compliance packet, it’s easier for your team to plan ahead and show results.

📁 No Last-Minute Surprises: Finish Your 2025 Compliance Package

A 30-minute QC can prevent weeks of rework. 

Don’t assume your 2025 submissions are good to go. The most common compliance issues pop up at the very end: wrong square footage, missing meters, old Portfolio Manager IDs, or outdated contact info. Even if you submitted on time, missing attachments like utility attestations, auditor certifications, or O&M/EMP files can still trigger fines or rejection. Before the year ends, take 30 minutes to validate what you’ve submitted and what’s still outstanding. It’s also the right time to build your 2026 compliance folder, so you’re not starting from scratch next quarter.
