The Building Energy Performance Standard (BEPS) draft is now open for your feedback! This policy will require large, existing buildings to decrease their energy usage and meet energy efficiency targets over time.

Sustainable Columbus is working collaboratively with the City’s Building & Zoning Department to pursue adoption of the policy. As Columbus continues to grow, this policy will ensure our community grows sustainably so that all people and businesses are able to prosper. A BEPS will help us achieve that by:  


* Reducing energy costs for residents and businesses. 

* Creating an ecosystem to support building owners in creating high-performing buildings that are healthier and more efficient. 

* Generating economic opportunities for all Columbus residents through local jobs and improved property values. 

*CLICK HERE [ https://www.columbus.gov/Government/Mayors-Office/Initiatives/Sustainable-Columbus/Building-Performance-Standards?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery#WhatComesNext ]* to make your voice heard and review the BEPS proposed code.

The comment period will be open from July 1, 2026 – August 30, 2026.
