A data jam is a training and workshop all in one. Here, you will get hands-on benchmarking assistance from Portfolio Manager, utility, and energy efficiency experts, In addition, City staff will be available to answer your policy-related questions.
Register for the final in-person Data Jam for 2019: April 30th, 8am-noon
Office Hours - In-person Assistance for your Individual Questions
Perhaps your building is complex or you've gotten stuck somewhere in the benchmarking process. Or maybe you couldn't make the earlier benchmarking data jams. In any case, you have questions that warrant one-on-one assistance. Similar to the data jams, utility and benchmarking experts will be on hand to help walk you through the benchmarking process. At this event, there will be no formal presentation, and building managers can walk-in at any point during the open 4-hour window.
