Portland Building Compliance Overview
Portland’s Covered Building Market
- Portland has one of the largest concentrations of commercial office, multifamily, healthcare, and institutional buildings in Oregon.
- Building owners must prepare for statewide Building Performance Standard (BPS) compliance while continuing local energy benchmarking and reporting obligations.
- For many owners, compliance is no longer just about reporting energy usage. It now affects operational planning, capital improvements, tenant expectations, and long-term asset value.

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 is considered a Tier 1 building in Portland?
Do Portland buildings still need city energy reporting?
Yes. Portland owners must continue complying with the City of Portland Commercial Building Energy Reporting Policy while also meeting Oregon BPS requirements.
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 incentives are available for Portland buildings?
Programs such as ECAPP, BERI, and Energy Trust of Oregon incentives can help offset compliance and retrofit costs.
