Frequently Asked Questions
What is CBPS compliance?
CBPS (Clean Buildings Performance Standard) is a Washington State energy efficiency law that requires certain commercial buildings to meet energy performance targets. Compliance helps reduce energy costs, lower emissions, and avoid state penalties.
Who needs to comply with CBPS?
- Commercial buildings over 50,000 sq. ft. in Washington State.
- Some multifamily buildings and campuses may also qualify.
- Smaller buildings are currently exempt but may be included in future phases.
What happens if my building is not compliant?
Non-compliance can result in significant penalties (currently up to $1 per sq. ft. per year of violation). The sooner you start compliance planning, the more cost-effective it will be.
What are the compliance deadlines?
- Buildings over 220,000 sq. ft. – June 1, 2026
- Buildings 90,000–220,000 sq. ft. – June 1, 2027
- Buildings 50,000–90,000 sq. ft. – June 1, 2028
(Tip: Some owners are starting earlier to take advantage of state incentives.)
How do I know if my building meets the energy target?
You’ll need to benchmark your building’s energy use through EPA’s ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager and compare it against CBPS performance targets. Professional energy audits can help identify gaps and solutions.
