Building Performance Standards

Navigating new building sustainability requirements

States and cities across the U.S. are passing Building Performance Standards (BPS) laws to curb building owners' carbon footprints. With six additional cities or states slated to adopt these standards by 2025, and more likely to follow suit, building owners must consider BPS a critical part of their long-term ownership strategy.

Use the interactive map below to determine which BPS standards apply to you, and download our guide to plan your next steps. Need a little more support? Connect with Johnson Controls to build a custom and cost-effective compliance plan for your properties.
