Salem Building Compliance Overview
Salem’s Building Stock & Compliance Needs
- Salem has a growing mix of government buildings, healthcare facilities, multifamily housing, and commercial properties.
- Many of these buildings fall under Oregon’s Building Performance Standard (BPS) requirements.
- For owners, compliance is not only a reporting requirement—it directly impacts operating costs, capital planning, and long-term asset value.
Salem building owners must comply with Oregon BPS requirements under HB 3409 while also following statewide benchmarking requirements through ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager.
A single benchmarking system can be used to support both reporting obligations when set up correctly, reducing duplicate work and improving data accuracy.

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 must comply in Salem?
Commercial buildings over 35,000 sq ft (Tier 1) and smaller commercial/multifamily buildings over 20,000 sq ft (Tier 2) must comply.
Do Salem buildings have different rules than Portland?
No. Oregon BPS rules are statewide, but Salem buildings may have different building mixes and utility structures.
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?
Programs such as ECAPP, BERI, and Energy Trust of Oregon incentives help reduce compliance and retrofit costs.
