ODOE’s New Building Performance Standard Incentive Coming Soon

The Oregon Department of Energy’s (ODOE) Building Performance Standard program will soon launch a new incentive opportunity for BPS-covered building owners.

The Building Energy Reduction Incentive program will provide an early financial incentive to help upgrade energy efficiency measures ahead of future compliance requirements. The ODOE has $12 million in federal funding to support the program, which is designed to help owners of covered buildings that are 20,000 square feet or larger meet their energy use intensity target.

The ODOE expects to open applications in February – keep an eye on ODOE’s website and sign up for email updates to be notified about program launch. 

A webinar scheduled for February 20, 2026, will offer details of the new Building Energy Reduction Incentive program, including a walkthrough of the application requirements.
