Building Performance Standards compliance screening for 7 major US jurisdictions (NYC, Boston, Denver, Washington State, Oregon, Maryland, and Washington DC). Every emissions limit, EUI target, and penalty rate is traced to a named statute or rule rather than estimated, and the API explicitly flags results where the real compliance target is legally building-specific instead of presenting an approximation as fact.

Building Performance Standards compliance screening for 7 major US jurisdictions (NYC, Boston, Denver, Washington State, Oregon, Maryland, and Washington DC). Every emissions limit, EUI target, and penalty rate is traced to a named statute or rule rather than estimated, and the API explicitly flags results where the real compliance target is legally building-specific instead of presenting an approximation as fact.
Each endpoint returns compliance screening data related to Building Performance Standards for various jurisdictions. The data includes compliance status, emissions limits, estimated penalty exposure, energy usage intensity (EUI), and detailed source citations for each jurisdiction.
Key fields include "compliance" status per jurisdiction, "estimated_penalty_now_usd," "site_eui," "energy_estimate," and "input" parameters like property type and square footage. Each response is structured to provide actionable insights for compliance assessment.
The response data is organized into sections such as "input," "energy_estimate," "eui," and "benchmark." Each section contains relevant metrics and values, allowing users to easily navigate and extract necessary information for compliance analysis.
Parameters include "property_type," "sq_ft," "annual_kwh," "annual_therms," "city," and "grid_region." Users can customize requests by specifying these parameters to tailor the compliance screening to specific buildings or jurisdictions.
Data sources include statutes, regulations, and technical references from the EPA and local jurisdictions. Each compliance result is traceable to specific legal documents, ensuring high accuracy and reliability in the data provided.
Typical use cases include assessing compliance for real estate portfolios, evaluating energy efficiency upgrades, and estimating potential penalties for non-compliance. Users can leverage the data to make informed decisions regarding building performance standards.
Users can analyze compliance status and penalty exposure to prioritize energy upgrades. The detailed citations allow for further investigation into specific regulations, while the EUI metrics help benchmark against industry standards for energy efficiency.
Data accuracy is maintained through rigorous sourcing from authoritative documents and regular updates to reflect changes in regulations. The API explicitly flags approximations and provides detailed methodologies for transparency in calculations.
