The Oregon Department of Energy has filed a hearing notice with the Oregon Secretary of State in the Building Performance Standards rulemaking. As directed by House Bill 3409 from the 2023 legislative session, the draft rules would adopt the 2024 version of ASHRAE Standard 100 with Oregon-specific amendments. Links to the draft amendments to customize ASHRAE Standard 100 for Oregon are provided below. ODOE invites public comment on both the draft rules and the draft amendments to ASHRAE Standard 100. House Bill 3409 directed the Oregon Department of Energy to adopt building energy performance standards for Oregon in consultation with a rulemaking advisory committee which has met seven times since February 2024. ODOE also held public meetings December 13, 2023, and March 21, June 5, and September 11, 2024, via webinar; information from these public meetings, including presentations, is available on the ODOE BPS program webpage and rulemaking webpage.

Members of the public are invited to comment on the draft rules and draft amendments using the comment portals listed at the top of this webpage, or by sending comments to the mail or email addresses below. Comments on these rules will be accepted through Friday, November 15, 2024, at 5 p.m. After review and consideration of public comments, ODOE plans to file permanent rules to establish the Building Performance Standards program by the end of the year, with the rules becoming effective January 1, 2025.
