What happens if I don't comply with the Building Energy Savings Program (BESP)?

Modified on Wed, 1 May at 10:19 PM

The city's primary goal is to work with building owners to make sure they can complete their building energy benchmarking, tune-ups and improve their energy efficiency. While the City of Madison has the legal authority to assess fines for non- compliance, we have designed the Building Energy Savings Program (BESP) with a variety of compliance pathways and extensions in response to extenuating circumstances.


Should a building owner fail to comply with the policy by the reporting due date, the City will issue a warning notice, explaining any grace period, and outlining potential fines for continued non-compliance.


For more information, check out the Madison BESP Official Website.
