Missed SF Energy Audit Deadline? Here’s How to Stay Compliant
If you’re a building owner in San Francisco, April 1st marked the deadline to submit your energy audit under the city’s Existing Buildings Energy Ordinance (EBO). If that date slipped by, don’t worry—there’s still a path to compliance and avoiding fines.
At Inland Empire Energy, we specialize in helping property owners meet San Francisco’s energy audit requirements. Even if you missed the deadline, we can help you extend your compliance window and protect your building from penalties.
✅ How to Extend Your Deadline: Submit Proof of Contract
The San Francisco Environment Department, which oversees the EBO program, allows building owners to delay audit submission if they submit proof of a signed contract with a qualified energy service provider. This contract must show that:
The audit is scheduled and in progress
It will be completed within a reasonable timeframe
Once submitted, this documentation extends your compliance deadline and shields your building from enforcement actions or fines.
🏢 Does the Ordinance Apply to Your Building?
You must comply with the ordinance if your property meets either of the following criteria:
Non-residential buildings with 10,000 square feet or more of heated or cooled space
Multifamily residential buildings with 50,000 square feet or more of heated or cooled space
If your building falls under these categories, you’re required to submit an energy audit every five years.
