This document discusses energy benchmarking, reporting, and data access policies across major US cities. It notes that buildings account for 70-75% of greenhouse gas emissions and energy usage in large cities. Benchmarking and disclosure policies have now been implemented in several cities, covering over 4 billion square feet of commercial space. Preliminary results from New York City's benchmarking program found high compliance rates and increased energy efficiency improvements at many buildings.

Editor's Notes
- #6: Demand and Competitiveness: “Sunlight is the best disinfectant” – building energy performance will be transparent, and building operators will be accountable for ongoing performance. Creates organic competition in the marketplace that will drive demand for improvement without public subsidies.
- #21: Led by strong mayoral leadership, cities are making a difference by adopting strong policy packages that addressing market failures by increasing energy performance transparency and implementing other strategies to catalyze demand for energy-efficient buildings.
