If you own or manage a commercial building in Maryland, Building Energy Performance Standards (BEPS) is no longer a “maybe” — it’s a requirement with real fines and deadlines.
This simple, printable checklist gives you the 10 essential next actions to:
- Confirm whether your building is covered (≥35,000 sq. ft., commercial/multifamily, not exempt)
- Set up ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager correctly
- Benchmark your building and generate your EUI score
- Connect to MDE’s BEPS account by the deadline
- Run the BEPS Benchmark risk calculator to see your estimated risk score, fine range, and HVAC savings signal
- Plan quick wins (LEDs, envelope, low‑cost controls)
- Scope ongoing HVAC and BAS optimization
- Prepare for third‑party verification (starting 2026)
The checklist is designed to be used alongside the BEPS Benchmark risk calculator at BEPSBenchmark.com. Run the calculator first to see your building’s risk and savings potential, then use this checklist to track your progress and keep your team aligned.
What you get:
- One‑page, fillable PDF checklist (printable or use digitally)
- Clear sections: coverage, baseline, risk & savings, quick wins, ongoing optimization, submission & verification
- Simple, no‑fluff format — just the actions that matter
Perfect for:
- Building owners and property managers
- Facility and engineering teams
- Sustainability and ESG managers
- Consultants and service providers working with Maryland commercial buildings
