Launched in 2022 with 33 inaugural jurisdictional participants, The National Building Performance Standards (BPS) Coalition has grown to a total of 46 state and local governments. Their aim? Improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions or face regulatory fines. The rapid adoption of BPS can catch many building owners off guard, especially those with properties in multiple states or cities. And the financial stakes are high; potential fines for non-compliance can reach into the millions, affecting even small to medium-sized portfolios.
At NZero, we’ve worked with various climate-based consultancies and property owners, so we’ve seen first hand the widespread lack of financial planning for these fines. The cost of being unprepared for upcoming regulations, both in budgeting for potential penalties and taking proactive compliance measures, poses a severe risk to any business’ future financial health. As BPS programs continue to roll out nationwide, having full visibility into these regulatory impacts is more crucial than ever.
This is exactly why we developed the Rapid Emission Profile (REP) tool, to keep you ahead of potential financial risks and ensure your properties comply with current and future standards.
