In Washington, D.C., the Building Energy Performance Standards (BEPS) program applies to buildings that meet specific size criteria:
- 50,000 square feet or larger: These buildings were the first to be affected, starting with the performance period in 2021.
- 25,000 to 49,999 square feet: Buildings in this range will be included starting with the 2027 performance period.
- 10,000 to 24,999 square feet: These buildings are expected to be covered starting with the 2033 performance period.
The BEPS program is part of D.C.’s efforts to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions, setting minimum energy performance standards for buildings to meet during every compliance cycle. While this represents a significant opportunity for building owners to enhance sustainability and reduce operating costs, it also poses challenges in navigating complex regulations and implementing necessary upgrades.
