BENCHMARKING
ENERGY PERFORMANCE
Lowers minimum building
square footage required to
benchmark; Creates data
verification requirements
Improves the performance of
existing buildings by
implementing a Building
Energy Performance Standard
CLEAN ENERGY DC
OMNIBUS AMENDMENT
ACT OF 2018, TITLE III….
@DOEE_DC #BEPSDC
The Clean and Affordable Energy Act of 2008 requires all private
buildings >50,000 square feet to report their annual energy and water
use for public disclosure.
The Act requires all District-owned buildings >10,000 square feet to
report their annual energy use for public disclosure.
The annual reporting deadline is April 1.
BENCHMARKING 101
@DOEE_DC #BEPSDC https://doee.dc.gov/energybenchmarking
2020
Third Party Verification required for 2019 data
2022 2025
Benchmarking private-owned drops to 10K sf for 2024 data
BENCHMARKING CHANGES
2013
Benchmarking private-owned
> 50K sf
Benchmarking private-owned drops to 25K sf
for 2021 data
@DOEE_DC #BEPSDC
THIRD PARTY VERIFICATION NOW
REQUIRED EVERY THREE YEARS
2009
Benchmarking DC-owned > 10K sf
DOEE must establish a minimum threshold for energy performance –
will be “no lower than” the local median ENERGY STAR score by
property type (or equivalent metric)
5-year compliance cycles - 1st cycle begins January 2021
BUILDING ENERGY PERFORMANCE STANDARD
@DOEE_DC #BEPSDC https://doee.dc.gov/service/beps
More than 2,700 buildings
impacted by BEPS!
916 buildings over 50k sf
561 buildings 25-50k sf
1,269 buildings 10-25k sf
Compliance paths for bldgs. below minimum: Performance: Reduce energy usage 20%
Prescriptive: Implement cost-effective efficiency measures Other paths as determined by DOEE
DOEE determines enforcement rules for compliance

@DOEE_DC
CONSTRUCTION CODES UPDATE
Green Construction Code introduced in 2013
o All projects 10K+ sq. ft.
o Alternative compliance paths include LEED certified, Enterprise Green
Communities, ASHRAE 189.1 - 2011, and NGBS Bronze + ENERGY STAR certified
Current changes (still in progress)
o 23% reduction in site EUI (over 90.1 - 2010 baseline)
o Energy Conservation Code alternative compliance paths expanded to include:
o Appendix Z – DC’s voluntary NZE code for commercial and multifamily
o Living Building Challenge, Passive House (PHI/PHIUS), and LEED + LEED Zero
o Adopted by Council in April 2020
o Dedicated outreach post-adoption
@DOEE_DC
Increased revenue & expanded uses for the Sustainable Energy Trust Fund: $20-22 million in Fiscal Years 2020-2022
$70 million over 6 years to DC Green Bank
$3 million beginning in FY2022 to support affordable housing
compliance with BEPS
30% of the increase (~$7million) in SETF to benefit low-income
residents; support workforce development initiatives and the Sustainable Energy Infrastructure Capacity Building & Pipeline
program
Allows gas and electric utilities to apply to PSC to offer energy efficiency and
demand reduction programs

Cost share with a DCSEU-provided contractor
• Technical assistance and rebates for any measure or operational improvement you are making in your District-based building that provides cost-effective electric or natural gas savings.
• Designed for commercial, and institutional (C&I) building larger that ~100,000 square feet, the program offers incentives for energy conservation measures based on pre- and post-project metered data that determines actual energy saved.

WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW
• Double-check your benchmarking data
• Compare 2019 scores to the 2018 median for your property type to
get a sense of how your building is performing
• Get an on-site energy audit to understand building characteristics,
equipment, and energy use
• Identify energy conservation measures
• Engage with building tenants
• Create an internal team to start aligning energy actions
• Develop a strategic energy management plan
@DOEE_DC #BEPSDC
21% reduction in source energy if all
buildings meet the standard for their
type and size subgroup.
• 18.7% from buildings over 50K sf
• 1.4% from 25K-50K sf buildings
• 1% from 10K-25K sf buildings
ANNUAL GHG EMISSIONS SAVINGS:
1.05 MILLION TONS OF CO2e
