Course Description: Building Performance Standards (BPS) are becoming a key part of state and local decarbonization efforts—but what do these targets actually mean in practice?
In this session, you’ll take a closer look at how BPS policies have developed, where they stand today, and what the data behind them shows, including key limitations. You’ll explore the technical foundations of BPS targets across jurisdictions and unpack why “hitting the number” doesn’t always translate to meaningful decarbonization outcomes.
Whether you’re new to BPS or looking to deepen your understanding, this session provides a clear, practical foundation you can apply right away.

Learning Objectives:
Recall the origins and current status of BPS policies across key jurisdictions
Explain how BPS targets are derived and what assumptions underpin them
Analyze the uncertainty ranges in current BPS targets
Evaluate how different jurisdictions have approached target-setting
Identify gaps between policy intent and technical reality
