Abstract:
| Also known as “Beyond Benchmarking”, Building Performance Standards are popping up around the US and Canada in cities, counties, provinces and states. To date, there are over 50 programs, with new ones announced monthly. These newer programs are the next step beyond simply reporting building scores – they now seek to enforce actual performance standards. They offer different compliance pathway options when building performance falls short. Some programs require ASHRAE Level 2 audits, retro commissioning and/or re-tuning. Some of them have serious penalties in the hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars… per building. Other penalties include loss of your business license, denied occupancy permits and property liens on unpaid penalties.What you don’t know CAN hurt you. Join this session to see the listing of the current programs, where to go to get the latest information on them and a distillation of their requirements and penalties for non-compliance. |
