Building Performance Standards: Coming Soon to a Facility Near You

As U.S. cities work toward net-zero carbon goals, one of the most significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions they must tackle is existing buildings. One strategy to support greenhouse gas emission reductions:  Building Performance Standards (BPS), outcome-based policies aimed at reducing the carbon impact of the built environment via energy and/or greenhouse gas emissions-based performance targets. Join the City of Denver’s Building Performance Policy Manager Sharon Jaye for an enlightening look at the role of Building Performance Standards play in the city’s efforts to enhance the sustainability and resiliency of commercial facilities, reduce operating costs and meet Energy Use Intensity targets.
