Dear Members, 

This is an important update on the City’s process to amend the existing Building Energy Use Disclosure Ordinance (BEUDO). The process is in a critical stage with an Ordinance Committee hearing taking place on Wednesday 6/22/22 at 5:30 PM. If you own a property that is 25K SF or more, or several properties that add up to 25K SF or more, you will be impacted by the proposed amendment. 

We highly recommend that you attend and speak at the hearing.
