4. Electronically Submit the Tune-up Report Workbook

Once all required corrective actions have been verified, the tune-up specialist completes and reviews the tune-up report with you, the building owner. Both the tune-up specialist and the property owner, or their designee, must sign off on the tune-up workbook before it is electronically submitted to the City via the BESP Building Owner Portal by the October 31st deadline.

STEP 1 - Log in to the BESP Building Owner Portal. If your building is required to tune-up during the current year, you will be prompted to submit your tune-up documentation after your benchmarking submission is complete. Click on 'Start Submission' to begin.

STEP 2 - You will be able to select from all of the different compliance options via a drop-down menu. Select the ‘Tune-Up Report’ option.

Once this is selected, the Building Owner Portal will prompt you to upload your tune-up report in .xlsx format. (Note, all reports must be saved in .xlsx format. Other formats such as PDF or .csv will not be accepted.) 

STEP 3 - Click the document ‘Upload' button, select your Tune-up Workbook file (in .xlsx format), and click "Open".

STEP 4 - Once your Tune-up Workbook has been uploaded to the platform, click "Submit"

If your document is successfully uploaded, a blue banner will appear in the portal confirming that your Tune-up Workbook is under review by the BESP team.

Once your Tune-up Workbook has been reviewed and approved by our team, you will be notified by email.

The building owner is responsible for ensuring that the Tune-up Report Workbook is submitted electronically to the City through the Building Owner Portal by the October 31st deadline.
