Oregon BPS Compliance
Made Simple
Oregon's Building Performance Standard (OAR 330-300) sets staggered compliance deadlines from June 2028 through 2030 — and Tier 1 buildings that miss their energy target will need an ASHRAE Level 2 audit. We help you find out where you stand and handle everything through compliance reporting.

What is Oregon BPS?
Understanding the Building Performance Standard mandate
Mandatory Mandate
Oregon's Building Performance Standard is a statewide energy code requirement for commercial buildings, multifamily properties, and public buildings.
Buildings Affected
Commercial buildings of 20,000+ sq ft and multifamily, school, hospital, and other Tier 2 buildings of 35,000+ sq ft are covered. Buildings under 20,000 sq ft are not currently covered.
Compliance Deadline
The compliance timeline varies by building size and energy intensity. Earlier compliance unlocks the Oregon Department of Energy's ECAPP program incentives worth up to $0.85/sq ft.
What's Required: Every covered building must benchmark its energy use intensity (EUI) against its target and report to the Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE). Tier 1 buildings whose EUI exceeds their target must also complete an ASHRAE Level 2 energy audit by a Qualified Energy Auditor and implement cost-effective measures. Finding out now whether your building will miss its target is the single most important compliance step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about BPS compliance
What is the Oregon Building Performance Standard?
The Oregon BPS (OAR 330-300, created by House Bill 3409 in 2023) is a statewide standard that requires large commercial, multifamily, and public buildings to benchmark energy use against state targets and report to ODOE. Tier 1 buildings that exceed their energy use intensity target must also complete an ASHRAE Level 2 energy audit and implement cost-effective measures.
Does my building need to comply with BPS requirements?
Commercial buildings, hotels, and motels of 20,000+ square feet are covered (Tier 1 at 35,000+ sq ft, Tier 2 at 20,000–35,000 sq ft), and multifamily, school, hospital, university, and similar buildings of 35,000+ square feet are covered as Tier 2. Certain building types may be exempt. We offer a free consultation to determine your building's compliance status and deadlines.
What are the Oregon BPS compliance deadlines?
Tier 1 deadlines are staggered by size: June 1, 2028 (200,000+ sq ft), June 1, 2029 (90,000–200,000 sq ft), and June 1, 2030 (35,000–90,000 sq ft). Tier 2 buildings report by July 1, 2028. Buildings acting early can access ODOE early-compliance incentives (ECAPP) worth up to $0.85 per square foot. Contact us for your building's specific deadline.
What is an ASHRAE Level 2 energy audit?
An ASHRAE Level 2 Energy Audit is a detailed building energy assessment that follows ASHRAE Standard 100 guidelines. It includes energy data collection, on-site inspections, system analysis, benchmarking, Life Cycle Cost Assessment, and recommendations for cost-effective energy efficiency improvements. Our audits meet all Oregon BPS requirements.
What does flat-fee pricing include?
Our flat-fee pricing includes initial consultation, site assessment, comprehensive ASHRAE Level 2 audit, energy benchmarking, LCCA, full compliance report, and guidance on Energy Trust incentives. No hourly billing or surprise costs—one transparent price covers everything.
How long does an energy audit take?
On-site audit fieldwork typically takes 1–3 days depending on building size and complexity. Report preparation and delivery usually takes 2–3 weeks after fieldwork completion. We'll provide you with a timeline during your free consultation.
