The Compliance Protection Program is the easiest way to avoid energy fines and stay compliant all year. It’s a full-service, annual plan that protects you from penalties and removes the headache of tracking ever-changing building laws.
Let’s break down how it works, why you need it, and how it compares to going alone.
Why Energy Compliance Is Getting Harder
Every year, new laws and energy ordinances are added or updated.
From New York to Los Angeles, Boston to Denver, cities are cracking down on building emissions and energy use. These building performance standards often require:
- Annual benchmarking reports
- Energy audits every few years
- Public disclosure of building scores
- Retro-commissioning or upgrades for underperforming sites
Failing to meet these requirements can result in fines that stack up daily or per square foot. And that’s before factoring in staff time, missed deadlines, or the cost of corrective actions.
The problem? Most property owners don’t have an in-house team who can manage it all.
What Is an Energy Compliance Protection Program
Think of the Compliance Protection Program as an insurance policy, but instead of covering damage, it protects you from penalties, stress, and last-minute surprises under building energy laws.
It’s an annual building law service that handles everything from scheduling audits to submitting reports on your behalf.
- We track your deadlines
- We file your compliance reports
- We schedule inspections or audits
- We notify you of law changes
- We help fix small issues before they become violations
In short: We manage it all.
What’s Included vs. Going It Alone
Here’s how the Compliance Protection Program stacks up compared to doing it yourself:
| Feature | Compliance Protection Program | Going It Alone |
| Deadline Tracking | ✅ Included | ❌ Manual |
| Report Filing | ✅ Included | ❌ You File |
| Law Monitoring | ✅ Included | ❌ Missed Updates |
| Audit Scheduling | ✅ Included | ❌ Time-Consuming |
| Violation Notices | ✅ Prevented | ❌ Risk of Fines |
| Cost Predictability | ✅ Fixed Rate | ❌ Unknown Costs |
How This Protects You From Energy Penalties
If your city has adopted performance standards, you’re likely already on the hook. Here’s how the Compliance Protection Program helps you avoid fines:
- Missed a reporting deadline? We file it for you, on time.
- Didn’t complete an audit? We schedule it months in advance.
- Laws change mid-year? We update your plan automatically.
Need support during a sale, refi, or tenant review? We provide proof of compliance instantly.
Without a protection plan, any of these moments could turn into costly setbacks.

A Case Study
One of our clients, a commercial real estate group with 15 buildings across California, missed a benchmarking deadline in 2023. That delay cost them $7,400 in fines and reprocessing fees.
After joining our Compliance Protection Program in 2024, they got their compliance back on track. The result? No more penalties, no rushed filings, and no surprises.
Now, they use our centralized portal to see every building’s status in real time.
