Building Performance Standards (BPS) and Their Impact on Buildings Across The Nation
These standards are a growing challenge for many organizations
At Verdius Energy, we understand the growing concern surrounding Building Performance Standards (BPS) and their impact on buildings across the nation. As experts in energy and resource efficiency, we're here to guide you through these new regulations and help you develop effective strategies for compliance.
The landscape of energy performance standards and carbon reduction initiatives is rapidly evolving. With several states and cities already adopting BPS and more expected to follow suit in 2025 and beyond, it's crucial for building owners and operators to stay ahead of the curve. Our team at Verdius Energy is dedicated to helping you navigate these changes and ensure your buildings meet or exceed the new requirements.
Currently, BPS legislation has been approved in:
- Washington, Colorado, Oregon, and Maryland (statewide)
- New York City
- Boston
- Washington DC
- Denver
- Seattle
Additionally, over 30 jurisdictions nationwide are part of a national BPS coalition, indicating that more locations are likely to implement similar standards soon.
What do these standards mean for your buildings?
BPS regulations are more stringent than previous mandates, such as energy audits or benchmarking. These performance-based standards require buildings to reduce energy usage to specific target levels or meet carbon reduction thresholds over time. The standards will become increasingly strict in the coming years, with some areas aiming for net-zero emissions.
Compliance may involve a combination of energy reduction strategies, electrification initiatives, renewable energy adoption, or even the purchase of renewable energy credits in some cases. It's essential to understand the specific requirements and potential penalties for non-compliance in each jurisdiction, as they can be significant.
