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.
Are hotels in Bend covered?
Yes, if they meet size thresholds.
Is Bend treated differently than Portland?
No, Oregon BPS rules are statewide.
What is EUIt?
EUIt is the energy use intensity target established by Oregon for specific building types and climate zones.
When do I need an ASHRAE Level 2 audit?
If your Tier 1 building is projected to exceed its EUIt target, you must complete an ASHRAE Level 2 audit at least 180 days before the compliance deadline.
What is the biggest compliance challenge?
Older buildings with high heating loads.
