Oregon BPS compliance, filed for you
The Oregon Building Performance Standard (HB 3409) requires covered buildings to report energy use every year. We gather the data, check it, and file it — usually within a week.
Who’s covered
Tier 1: hotels, motels and non-residential buildings of 35,000 sq ft or more. Tier 2: multifamily, hospitals, schools and university buildings of 35,000+ sq ft, plus non-residential buildings of 20,000–35,000 sq ft.
Annual deadline
Phased: June 1, 2028–2030 (Tier 1) and July 1, 2028 (Tier 2 reporting) for the previous calendar year. Tier 1 buildings over 200,000 sq ft go first in 2028, then 90,000+ in 2029 and 35,000+ in 2030.
Verification
No routine third-party verification — but the program runs its own data checks, so accuracy still matters.
Penalties
Up to $5,000 plus a daily amount, capped at $1 per sq ft per year.
What to report
All energy used by the whole building — including tenant spaces — for January 1 to December 31:
- Electricity — every meter serving the building
- Natural gas
- District steam, hot or chilled water, if you have it
- Delivered fuels (oil, diesel, propane) — all delivery receipts for the year
- On-site solar production, if any
Leave out backup generator fuel. Note any meters added or removed during the year.
Good to know
- Tier 1 buildings must meet an energy use target modeled on ASHRAE Standard 100.
- Starting early with benchmarking makes the 2028–2030 deadlines much easier.
What we’ll need from you
- Building address, plus any utility service addresses that differ from it
- Gross floor area for the whole building and each use (office, retail, residential…), number of units and year built
- Your Oregon BPS ID (we can look it up)
- Utility data for the full calendar year, January 1 – December 31 (usually 13 months of bills)
- If tenants pay their own utilities: whole-building (aggregated) data from the utility, or signed tenant authorization forms
- Access to your ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager account, if you have one
- Any notice or letter you received about this law
