Act now to avoid penalties: Building Performance Colorado (BPC) Urgency Alert
Attention Colorado Building Owners: Time is of the essence! Building Performance Colorado (BPC) is a critical state mandate designed to track and improve energy use and cut down emissions in large commercial and multifamily properties. Ignoring this now could lead to severe fines and missed opportunities. Colorado building owners, time is running out!
Why BPC Matters
Building Performance Colorado (BPC) was established to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and boost energy efficiency across Colorado’s commercial and multifamily buildings. Here’s why BPC is crucial:
- Slash Utility Bills: Embracing energy efficiency means lower utility costs for you and your tenants
- Cut Air Pollution: Reducing emissions not only combats climate change but also helps improve public health by reducing air pollution
What You Need to Do
If your building is 50,000 square feet or larger, you must:
- Benchmark Energy Use Annually: Report your building’s energy use using Energy Star Portfolio Manager
- Meet Emission Reduction Targets: Cut sector-wide emissions by 7% by 2026 and 20% by 2030
Why Immediate Compliance is Crucial
The BPC program impacts a wide range of property types, including:
- Mixed-use buildings
- Manufacturing, agricultural, and industrial buildings
- Indoor marijuana/cannabis cultivation facilities
- Data centers
Steps to Ensure Compliance
To meet BPC targets and avoid penalties, consider these actions:
- Upgrade Lighting: Implement energy-efficient lighting with smart controls
- Enhance Building Envelope: Improve insulation and windows to prevent energy loss
- Modernize HVAC Systems: Install energy-efficient heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems
- Install Energy Management Systems (EMS): Automate control of HVAC and lighting to optimize efficiency
- Use Smart Power Strips: Control equipment automatically based on occupancy
