What Building Performance Standards Mean for Facilities Teams: ICYMI

Building performance standards (BPS) are spreading—and even if you’re not responsible for regulatory strategy, you may want to pay attention anyway. This episode of the Buildings Podcast unpacks the potential consequences of not meeting BPS requirements and FM’s role in achieving these goals.

Key Highlights

  • Building Performance Standards are turning energy and emissions performance into an ongoing operational responsibility. 
  • Facilities teams may have to navigate multiple requirements for the same building, making centralized data and deadline tracking increasingly important. 
  • BPS can give facilities and asset teams a framework for connecting compliance requirements with maintenance, capital planning and long-term building performance.
