Specifications include, but are not limited to: develop appropriate state-specific Energy Use Intensity Targets based on site energy use, taking into consideration the guidelines and requirements in HB 3409 (2023). This work will be performed in coordination with the Contracting Agency and other stakeholders. Once developed, these EUIt will be incorporated into Contracting Agency’s proposed rules for administration of the BPS program. EUIt are a necessary component of a BPS program because these targets establish the energy performance level that a covered building must meet to comply with the standard. Work performed under this contract will benefit the Contracting Agency’s, program stakeholders, and owners of covered commercial buildings by establishing clear energy targets that are supported by data and analysis.
