BOMA/Chicago Advocates for Permanent ComEd Data Program

Published by BOMA/Chicago on November 9, 2026

BOMA/Chicago filed a brief on exceptions with the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) in ComEd’s Multi-Year Integrated Grid Plan proceeding, urging support for the BOMA/Chicago Post-Pilot Program Platform. The proposed platform would build on a successful pilot that gave commercial office customers greater visibility into building energy use and helped inform operational and energy management decisions. 

ComEd shared feedback from BOMA/Chicago building participants that the pilot successfully provided participating buildings with timely, detailed information about their energy use. Building owners and managers valued being able to see energy use in 15-minute intervals on a near real-time basis, helping them make more informed decisions about building operations and energy management. 

Participants also suggested ways to make the program more useful, including adding temperature information and next-day electricity prices. BOMA/Chicago is urging the ICC to support a permanent program that builds on the pilot’s success, helping building owners and managers better understand their energy use, manage demand, and make informed operating decisions. 

The ICC’s final decision on the ComEd Grid Plan proceeding, including the BOMA/Chicago Post-Pilot Program Platform, is expected to be issued in December 2026.
