This document is intended to serve as a resource for states, cities, and other jurisdictions who are considering adopting a building performance standard (BPS) and want to better understand what is feasible within the context of their jurisdiction. It provides information on key considerations for developing a BPS.
Implementing a successful Building Performance Standard or benchmarking program requires accurate and comparable building data. The first step is to develop a “Covered Buildings List” (CBL), which consists of all the buildings covered by the BPS or benchmarking regulations developed by the jurisdiction, for example, all commercial buildings greater than 50,000 square feet. This document provides an overview of the process and key considerations for developing a CBL. It is intended for BPS or benchmarking policy administrators and implementers to help plan the process and level of effort needed to develop CBL. It does not provide detailed technical guidance on data processing.
