What is likely happening
Building performance standards set limits on emissions or energy use, with penalties for going over. Knowing where your building stands early leaves time to plan improvements.
What you can safely check
- Pull your last benchmarking score or emissions estimate.
What an inspector will look at
- Current performance versus the limit
- Compliance pathways
- Reporting
Does this affect compliance?
NYC Local Law 97, DC BEPS, Boston BERDO, Maryland BEPS and others each set their own limits and timelines.
When it becomes urgent
