Building Performance Standards

Building Performance Standards (BPS) are performance-based standards aimed at reducing energy use and operational costs in existing buildings by setting targets for energy or other performance metrics.

  • Improved energy efficiency through upgrades often leads to operational savings
  • Lower operating costs can increase asset value
  • Provides long-term timeline for capital improvements
  • Potentially high upfront costs
  • Potential for disrupted building operations
  • Potential challenges for retrofitting older buildings

Benchmarking

Benchmarking is the process of reporting a building’s energy use to understand its energy efficiency and identify opportunities to reduce building owner’s energy expenses.

  • Can improve operational efficiency, which can lead to lower energy bills and higher asset value
  • Provides a consistent method to compare buildings of different sizes or types
  • Provides actionable data to inform capital investment
  • Administrative burden
  • Limitations of energy data and potential for misinterpretation
