5. Use the data quality checker to check your data for issues and correct errors

Before sharing your property with Building Benchmark BC on ESPM, you need to check your data for any errors. The best way is to do this directly in ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager using the Data Quality Checker.

STEP 1 - From the MyPortfolio tab, select the property that you want to check for data errors and select ‘Check for Possible Errors’ in the Data Quality Checker section.

STEP 2 - Select the last day of the year for the 12-months of data you would like to check. (For example the 2025 submission will include data from Jan 1, 2024 to Dec 31, 2024) Once you have added this information, click ‘Run Checker’

The Data Quality Checker will flag the exact months which are missing monthly energy use, have duplicate monthly energy use or any potential quality errors. 

Note: Building Benchmark BC only requires monthly energy use data, it does not require water or waste to be reported.
