Energy management plan
Your Energy Management Plan, Ready Before the 12-Month Trigger
Washington State now requires that building owners have a formal, documented approach to managing their buildings for energy efficiency. They’ve adopted ASHRAE Standard 100: Energy Efficiency in Existing Buildings —with amendments. This is referred to as the Clean Building Performance Standard (CPBS).
Almost all buildings over 20,000 square feet of conditioned space are required to comply with these three activities:
- Benchmarking to measure and track building energy performance against a target.
- Developing and maintaining a program to support continuous improvement including supporting documents (referred to in the Standard as an Energy Management Plan and O&M Program).
- Taking actions to maintain and improve building performance over time, including robust O&M tasking, operator/manager training and education, occupant education and engagement, asset management and improvement, and a review of energy impacts of any space and equipment changes.
In addition, larger, non-residential buildings (a/k/a Tier 1, 50,000 SF+ buildings) are required to either meet or exceed their targets or have an audit and plan to do so by their compliance date.
