Session F2: Building Performance Standards

September 18, 2025 | 10:30 am - 11:00 am

Building Performance Standards: Impact & Policy Update

Building performance standards (BPS) require buildings to meet specific energy/carbon threshold targets, and play a crucial role in the decarbonization of commercial real estate. BPS policies now cover 4 states and 10 cities, and more than 35 jurisdictions remain committed to passing policies through the National BPS Coalition. This session will review the basics of BPS and its impact and explain current market and policy trends related to BPS. You will also learn about helpful tools and resources, including ways to track BPS policies and how high-performance building hubs can benefit energy managers looking for compliance assistance and/or business exposure.
