Building Energy Benchmark Lookup (NYC + Chicago)
A building's own government-mandated annual energy/water disclosure filing, read live from NYC (Local Law 84/97) and Chicago (Energy Benchmarking Ordinance) and normalized into one column set across the two cities' different schemas, primary keys and missing-value conventions.
Unaffiliated, third-party Actor. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or
sponsored by the City of New York or the City of Chicago. Built on each
city's own open-data portal: NYC's Local Law 84/97 building energy/water
disclosure dataset (data.cityofnewyork.us) and Chicago's Energy
Benchmarking Ordinance dataset (data.cityofchicago.org).
Give it a list of buildings -- each one
{"city": "nyc" or "chicago", "building_id": the city's own identifier, and/or "address": free text}Each city publishes this under a different dataset, a different primary key, different column names for the same measurement, and a different way of marking a value as not yet reported. There is no shared building identifier across the two ordinances. This Actor reads both live on every run and reconciles them, so a buyer working across a multi-city portfolio does not have to build and maintain that mapping by hand.
A building located but not yet reporting energy data (a real, verified shape in both cities' own datasets -- see the product notes) is delivered free, with the reason, and never billed as a benchmark it isn't.
Coverage today: New York City and Chicago. Roughly 15-20 US cities run a similar mandatory disclosure ordinance; adding one is a mapping-table change, each requiring its own live-verified column names the same way these two got theirs.
