EWRB reporting is mandated by the Government of Ontario with a long term goal of helping building owners and managers reduce their energy and water needs. Building owners are required to submit all structural and utility information to the Ministry of Energy using the ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager.
Buildings located in the City of Toronto are also required to file a separate EWRB report to the city. The submitted information is mostly the same as for the Provincial EWRB report and the reporting deadline is identical. The municipal by-law lays out fines of up to $100,000 for non-compliance with the reporting requirements.
| Reporting due date | Requirement |
| July 1, 2024 (for 2023 calendar year) | All multi-residential, commercial, and industrial buildings with a GFA of 50,000 ft² or greater |
| July 1, 2025 (for 2024 calendar year) | All multi-residential, commercial, and industrial buildings with a GFA of 50,000 ft² or greater. Toronto buildings with a GFA of 10,000 ft² or greater. |
