Control the denominator
Separate whole-building, premises and common-area data—and preserve the actual period and area source.
UTILITY BASELINE · LEASE CONTROL · RETROFIT ECONOMICS
The building can save energy while the lease sends the value elsewhere.
Reconcile energy, water, waste and cost to one period. Show exactly how the tenant share was entered. Then connect reporting, access, retrofit approval and recovery language to a capital model that shows both parties’ economics.
Expose every factor
No hidden provincial emissions factor or market benchmark. Enter the current applicable source yourself.
Separate allocation from entitlement
A tenant-share scenario is arithmetic. Whether the lease permits recovery remains a reviewed question.
Price both parties
Show who supplies capital, who receives savings and whether the transaction works for each side.
DEVICE-LOCAL BUILDING PERFORMANCE FILE
Make utility data, lease language and capital economics agree.
Build the source-controlled baseline, show how costs are allocated, turn green-lease wording into responsibilities and compare both parties’ retrofit economics.
Load the shape of the problem—then replace every illustrative value.
Define the denominator before comparing performance.
Area, use, period and source coverage determine whether an intensity number is meaningful.
What the baseline means
The workbench annualizes the selected entered period using exact inclusive calendar days. It does not weather-normalize, calculate an ENERGY STAR score or compare the property with a national median. Use NRCan’s ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager for standardized Canadian benchmarking.

ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager is the standardized Canadian tool for weather-normalized energy benchmarking and eligible 1–100 scores. LeaseCalculator.ca does not reproduce or imply that score.
