THE BENEFITS OF BPS
ADOPTION AND COMPLIANCE
Among other benefits, these standards are capable of
fueling job creation, increasing renewable energy share, and
reducing costs.
01
Improving how a building uses energy can
also help protect occupants against growing
climate threats, such as heatwaves, storms,
power outages, and air pollution. The
occupants of durable, high-performing
buildings are less affected by extreme
temperatures and weather events due to the
building's ability to maintain safe indoor
temperatures and conditions for longer
periods.

02
Owners can improve a building's heating, cooling, and ventilation systems to use less energy,
provide healthier air, increase comfort, and lower energy bills.
Given that we spend approximately 90% of our lives indoors, providing high indoor air quality
and sufficient ventilation is imperative for building systems design and operations.
Additionally, building owners can reap significant returns on their investments in energy
efficiency and renewable energy technologies over time as they decrease their energy use,
avoid fines or penalties, and rely on cheaper energy sources. Opting into energy-saving
operational strategies like peak load management, demand response programs, and weather-
dependent operating can also significantly lower energy bills.
Lower Bills, Better Air
Quality
Sustainability & Energy Management Simplified
High-performing buildings also require less energy and water to maintain survivable
conditions, which lowers demand and decreases the risk of utility outages during disasters
due to excess strain on the grid.
