Exploring BPS in Oregon

Building Performance Standards (BPS) are rapidly emerging across the country, with Oregon joining a growing number of states and cities using building performance requirements to drive energy efficiency in commercial buildings. But BPS is about more than compliance.

​How can these policies accelerate investment, create demand for high-performance buildings, strengthen workforce development, and unlock new opportunities for developers, designers, contractors, technology providers, and building owners? What lessons can Portland learn from communities that are already implementing BPS, and what complementary tools such as financing, technical assistance, and workforce support are critical to success?

​Join Prosper Portland, Energy Trust of Oregon, the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA), and others for a discussion on the future of commercial buildings and how BPS, coupled with financing, technical assistance, and workforce support, can help create thriving buildings, stronger local businesses, and healthier communities.
