Office building energy context
The City’s BenchmarkYYC programme publishes median performance for reporting office buildings. This is programme-level context, not a figure for any building profiled here.
| Year | Property type | Reporting buildings | Median gross floor area | Median site energy (GJ/m²) | Median GHG (kg CO₂e/m²) | Median energy cost ($/m²) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | Office | 108 | 9,147 m² | 1.16 | 116.9 | 20.33 |
| 2020 | Office | 116 | 9,397 m² | 0.96 | 94 | 17.4 |
| 2021 | Office | 76 | 11,325 m² | 0.94 | 83 | 17.63 |

Questions about the record
Scope, sources and limits.
Where does the Calgary office building list come from?
Every parcel on The City of Calgary 2026 property assessment roll whose non-residential sub-property use is an office code (Office, Small Office, Medical/Dental Office, Office/Warehouse, Office/Residential, Office/Retail, Office/Parking, Office Condo, Retail/Office, Office/Retail LRT Concession, Airport ATB Office, Airport Office Warehouse, Airport Office). 1,650 assessed accounts resolve to 611 office-coded building sites after office-condominium units and multi-parcel rolls are grouped by shared parcel geometry. A further 210 sites are assessed under roll code X034, for which the City publishes no description; they are included because The City’s own building permits record office use on the parcel (at least three building permits in the City Office classes on the parcel, or one permit for a new office building). Most are suburban office campuses and business parks the office codes would otherwise miss. 1 further site is included on a labelled first-hand occupier report because the City assesses the parcel under a non-office code; each such profile states the basis.
What does the record say about how a building was inspected?
The City publishes an inspection result for each visit against a building permit. The record joins 54,879 of them to 694 sites by exact permit number, including 6,910 on life-safety checklists such as fire separations, firestopping and emergency lighting, and 1,502 on the barrier-free checklist. Each result describes one visit, usually to a single tenant improvement, and a Not Acceptable outcome is an ordinary step before re-inspection.
How accessible are these buildings on foot, by bike and in winter?
Measured against City layers: 385 of the 822 sites have a protected cycle lane within 400 m, 436 have an accessible pedestrian signal within 200 m, and 530 front a Priority 1 snow and ice clearing route. 277 sit inside a residential permit parking zone, which restricts all-day staff parking on the surrounding residential streets.
Who occupies these buildings?
The record does not hold tenant rosters. It does carry The City of Calgary business licence register: 2,767 licensed businesses matched to 559 sites by address or licence location, labelled on each profile. Most office occupiers need no municipal licence and are not listed.
Is this a list of available office space in Calgary?
No. It is a public-record profile of the buildings themselves: LiDAR massing, parcel, assessment history, permits, heritage status and transit context. Availability, rents and tenancy are not in any source used and are never inferred.
Why can a LiDAR height differ from a marketed height?
The City derives roof-surface elevations from aerial LiDAR and this record subtracts the lowest ground elevation at the building perimeter. Architectural heights often include spires, mechanical screens or a different ground datum.
Are assessed values the same as market prices?
No. Assessed values are the City’s taxation figures for the stated roll year. Alberta does not publish sale prices, and this record does not estimate them.

Boundary: Assessed values are the City’s assessment-roll figures for taxation and are not sale prices, asking rents, vacancy or availability; Alberta does not publish transaction prices. LiDAR heights are roof-surface elevations above the lowest ground point at the building perimeter and can differ from architectural heights. Storey equivalents are derived at 3.9 m per storey and are not floor counts. Distances are straight-line.
