Third-Party Benchmark Request Self-Certification Form: Only document required if there are 3 or more meters at the property.
Proof of Ownership: Acceptable documents are most current Property Tax Statement, current RECORDED Grant Deed, or Final Escrow Closing Statement.
Tenant Consent Form: Required if the property is tenant occupied.
| Tenants: Property owners are subject to several California policies requiring them to benchmark and disclose the energy use of their building. To comply with these policies, property owners may need building tenants to release their energy data for use in the benchmarking analysis. LADWP customers can release their usage data to building owners and their agents by completing a Tenant Consent for Building Benchmarking form, which grants LADWP permission to share the account holder’s usage information with the owner or authorized agent for building benchmarking purposes. |
