Frequently Asked Questions
What is Oregon BPS compliance?
The Oregon Building Performance Standard (Oregon BPS) is a mandatory program that aims to bring
awareness about building energy use to owners of existing commercial buildings, and to reduce
energy use and utility costs for less efficient buildings.
The State of Oregon adopted new energy performance requirements for commercial and multifamily buildings. These are in addition to Portland’s commercial energy reporting requirements; here is what commercial property owners need to know.
Who Required to comply with Oregon BPS?
All public and privately owned buildings, which meet the definition of a Tier 1 or Tier 2 covered building are subject to the requirements of the Buildings Performance Standard.
What’s the difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2 and Special Tier 2 ?
Tier 1 :

- Does not include multifamily residential buildings
