EWRB reporting is an opportunity to review your condo’s energy and water use and compare your condo with similar buildings. It is also a requirement under the Condo Act of Ontario and is an Ontario Regulation (O. Reg. 506/18).

Ontario regulation 506/18 mandates that all buildings over 100,000 SqFt must report their annual energy and water consumption to the Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines by July 1st, 2022.

For the first-time in Ontario utilities are required to provide aggregated data. This is your opportunity to review aggregated consumption data and compare how energy and water are used. The July 1st deadline is quickly approaching.

Benchmarking is the first logical step in Energy Management. The second step is to properly understand what the data is saying – we help with both!
