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.
Yes, if they meet size thresholds.
No, Oregon BPS rules are statewide.
EUIt is the energy use intensity target established by Oregon for specific building types and climate zones.
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.
Older buildings with high heating loads.
Our team helps BEND commercial and multifamily building owners simplify Oregon BPS compliance, reduce energy costs, and prepare for future performance requirements.
