The City of Toronto has opened a reporting link for owners of buildings, 50,000 square feet or larger, to report their energy and water usage for 2024. This includes condominiums.

Large building owners are already required to report their usage to the province of Ontario. The deadline for reporting to the city is Wednesday, July 2, while the deadline to report to the province is Tuesday, July 1.

Condominium buildings are composed of multiple properties (individual units and common areas). Currently, unit owners and condo corporations are only required to report the energy use of their properties to the City of Toronto if the individual unit or common area is 50,000 square feet or larger, with this threshold changing to 10,000 square feet in 2026.

Buildings represent more than half of the greenhouse gas emissions in Toronto, mostly due to energy and water use, which can also represent some of the largest operating costs for building owners. Reporting can help  owners can track their buildings’ performance over time, compare it with the performance of similar buildings, and identify opportunities to improve energy and water efficiency.
