It requires commercial, industrial and multi-family buildings larger than 10,000 square feet in Brisbane to benchmark their buildings beginning in 2021. The BBEP is one of the few programs in the state and country to go “Beyond Benchmarking” and require buildings to meet high-performance standards or complete building audits and take action to improve. First of their kind compliance pathways include Green Lease and Distributed Energy Resource options. Get in on the ground floor as we complete development of this innovate program and begin implementation!
