Managing a building portfolio across multiple jurisdictions has never been more complex. As cities and states accelerate their climate action plans, your buildings face a patchwork of regulations with real financial and reputational consequences:
For multi-site organizations, this creates a compliance nightmare - each with different requirements, timelines, and penalties. Without a strategic approach, you risk fines, public disclosure of non-compliance, and potentially significant capital expenditures.
Building Performance Standards (BPS) represent the evolution of building regulations from simple reporting to mandatory performance improvements. Unlike earlier benchmarking requirements, BPS policies demand measurable results with firm deadlines.
BPS laws mandate that companies reduce building energy use or carbon emissions, measured against a specific target and deadline. Requirements are based on geographical location and building size, with some jurisdictions mandating action for sites as small as 5,000 sq ft. Achieving the performance target will require a variety of activities, including operational improvements, electrification and other capital upgrades, and the use of renewable energy in certain locations.
While responsibility ultimately falls on building owners, these standards impact everyone involved in building operations - from property owners to commercial tenants. The challenge? Each jurisdiction implements BPS differently, creating a complex web of requirements that's nearly impossible to track without dedicated expertise.
