Building Performance Standards Assistance

Solarc supports building owners and managers across Washington in meeting the requirements of the Clean Buildings Performance Standard (CBPS), a key part of the state’s climate and energy policy. Our team provides end-to-end services that help clients understand their energy use, identify pathways to compliance, and implement effective energy efficiency strategies. We begin with benchmarking and energy use analysis to establish a clear baseline aligned with the state’s Energy Use Intensity (EUI) targets. From there, we perform detailed audits and develop Energy Management Plans (EMP) and Operations & Maintenance (O&M) programs required for compliance.

Our engineers and analysts collaborate closely with facilities teams to recommend practical upgrades that improve building performance and reduce operational costs. We also help clients navigate available incentives, grants, and utility programs to offset improvement costs. Whether working with commercial offices, multifamily buildings, or public facilities, Solarc ensures each project not only meets state standards but achieves long-term efficiency and resilience. With a deep understanding of Washington’s building performance policies, we make compliance clear, achievable, and cost-effective. Solarc is also prepared for the expansion of the CBPS to other states including Oregon and beyond.
