𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 is one of the most valuable aspects of the EWRB program. By comparing your building's water usage to regional and sector averages, you can gain valuable insights into your building's water consumption and identify areas for improvement. For example, if your building's water usage is higher than similar buildings in your region, you may have potential leaks within the building or issues and systems that may run inefficiently.

Additionally, 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 allows building managers to identify low flow toilet stuff, and make changes that can save countless dollars in water a year. This can stem from identifying potential leaks within the building or issues and systems that may run inefficiently in one location.

Are you a building property manager or owner? It's crucial to stay informed about the latest regulations and initiatives that affect our industry. One program that has been gaining popularity in recent years is the Energy and Water Reporting and Benchmarking (EWRB) program in Ontario. The EWRB program is a government-mandated program that requires buildings over 50,000 sq. ft. to report their energy and water usage annually. This data is then used to analyze and compare energy usage across different buildings and regions, with the goal of identifying areas for improvement and promoting conservation efforts.

One of the most valuable aspects of the EWRB program is 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴. By comparing your building's energy usage to regional and sector averages, you can gain valuable insights into your building's energy consumption and identify areas for improvement. For example, if your building's gas usage is higher than similar buildings in your region, you can review your systems and consider alternative upgrades that will decrease consumption in the future.

Additionally, 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 is another aspect to look into, although the low hanging fruit of lighting retrofits has largely been accomplished in most buildings, elevated electrical consumption becomes very apparent when comparing their usage two similar buildings built at the same time by same developers. This will allow building managers to come up with efficiencies in operation and capital planning projects in the future

𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 with EWRB services can help building property managers and owners take advantage of energy auditing and inform payback periods on improvements, which can save costs and resources.

We provide fast, inexpensive, worry-free EWRB reporting for property managers and owners.

As you know, all buildings in Ontario with greater than 100,000 square feet need to report their 2021 monthly energy and water consumption before this July 1st.

Let us do the work for you. All we need is a sample of each utility provider’s invoice (electricity, gas and water) and we will take it from there.

We gather all the information, have the engineers verify it, file it with Ontario’s Ministry of Energy, and then create benchmarking reports to send back to you in July to share with your clients.

Our fee starts at $399 per building and may be reduced if multiple building reports are required.

We have been providing these services for the last three years and have created an efficient, reliable, hassle-free way to deal with the energy providers, and we have acquired the knowledge to work within the government regulations.

Don’t get stuck waiting until the last minute to get these reports done. We can help but don’t delay as we get very busy as the reporting deadline approaches.
