In October, the Department of Commerce released a new document to assist building owners in fulfilling the Clean Buildings Tier 2 compliance requirements. See CBPS 030 – Tier 2 Compliance Requirements (PDF). This document aims to:
- help buildings owners gain an understanding of the full scope of the rules,
- determine if their building is exempt, and
- learn how to “benchmark” their building’s energy performance.
Clean Buildings Performance Standard (CBPS) compliance is mandatory for Tier 2 covered buildings located in
Washington State. A Tier 2 covered building is a building where the sum of nonresidential, hotel, motel, and
dormitory floor areas exceed 20,000 gross square feet but do not exceed 50,000 gross square feet,
excluding the parking garage area and multifamily residential buildings where the floor area exceeds 20,000 gross
square feet, excluding the parking garage area.
