April Sustainable Building Monthly

Oregon Building Performance Standards

Join the Oregon Department of Energy for a deep overview of the state’s new Building Performance Standard (BPS), established under House Bill 3409 to improve energy efficiency in existing commercial buildings, one of Oregon’s largest energy-using sectors. This session will break down key program requirements, incentive pathways, and phased compliance timelines, while offering clarity on how building owners can accurately evaluate their energy use and plan for upgrades. Attendees will also learn how to navigate official communications, avoid misinformation, and access the most current guidance as Oregon begins implementing this statewide standard.
