Record Cold = Record Heating Bill.??But, there’s a smarter way… FACT:?There is a direct link between cold winter temps and the energy needed to maintain temperature setpoints within a building.?This is a fact of life. HOWEVER, the level of system efficiency is, in fact, within our control.?Technology can be deployed to maintain comfort for building occupants while optimizing building systems for energy efficiency in real time, and to a much greater degree than ever possible before, and in a way that simplifies the job of building operators. Adding smart sensors and making controls upgrades usually requires a low to medium level of investment, can come out of the maintenance budget, and can be rolled out incrementally or in phases – much easier than taking on a big capital improvement project! Reach out to Bauer Energy to learn what options are available for your building to bring your heating and cooling costs down. www.bauer.energy ?? +1-202-681-9054

Great quote from this article, "Our commercial real estate clients are exhilarated because a real estate developer will be the President of the United States." Less regulation will be a relief, for sure. On the flip side, owners with a building upgrades planned for 2025 will lose the benefit of a 30% tax credit. To bring it home, just this afternoon I had to recalculate the project economics for a Bauer Energy client removing the investment tax credit from the equation which significantly stretched the payback period of their investment, from 4.6 years to 6.2 years. ...

Energy Compliance Remains Fluid in D.C. // Sharing our Perspective on new changes to Building Energy Performance Standards (BEPS) ... There were several changes made to DC BEPS at the end of last year, most of them?positive for building owners.?Yes, you read that correctly - in general D.C. is relaxing some of the deadlines for benchmarking and for BEPS:? The 2nd Cycle of BEPS has been moved back by 1 year.?Cycle 2 will now start on January 1, 2028.?We think this happened because the District & the DOEE needs additional time to establish more realistic targets.?Though “realistic” might be a tall order for D.C.?…The District’s climate goals are extremely ambitious relative to other jurisdictions and relative to the amount of changes they will require of buildings, infrastructure, and utility services, not to mention capital investment.? The annual reporting deadline is moved from April 1 to May 1.?If you recall last year, the deadline was moved from April 1 to July 1.?Whether D.C. sticks to May 1 is TBD. Other changes were relatively minor or impacted small buildings (10K SF and greater) or are not yet fully developed.?More details at DOEE's Building Performance Helpdesk. The takeaway here is that Energy Compliance remains fluid.?Work with an expert who still stay on top of the relevant requirements and changes that impact your properties.? What did not change??BEPS Cycle 1 is still ends on December 31, 2026.?If your building is in a “Compliance Cycle”, meaning energy performance improvements are required,?the deadline to have building upgrades complete has not changed.?Projects should be in development and construction this year so that the resultant energy performance fully registers in the CY 2026 benchmarking report.?Your upgrades should be installed and closed out by the end of 2025.? Bauer Energy?can take your existing Energy Audits and help you move into project implementation.?Please call us if you need support with your projects. www.bauer.energy

?? 2024-2025 Energy Compliance: What Asset Managers Need to Know ?? Energy regulations are evolving, and 2025 is set to bring even more changes. Here are the key takeaways to keep your portfolio ahead of the curve: 1. Potential Federal Policy Shifts: The new administration may ease federal energy efficiency rules, but state and local governments are expected to maintain or tighten their mandates. Tracking building energy performance remains critical for long-term savings and sustainability. 2. Tighter Carbon Emission Targets: Cities like NYC and Washington, D.C., are pushing stricter Building Performance Standards. Compliance isn’t just about avoiding fines—it’s about future-proofing your buildings. 3. Federal Incentives: Programs like those under the Inflation Reduction Act are still funding energy upgrades. Don’t miss out on opportunities to offset project costs. ?? 4. Smart Tech Is the Future: ?? Data-driven solutions and real-time energy optimization tools will play a pivotal role in 2025’s energy compliance strategies. REMEMBER: Whether regulations tighten or relax, prioritizing energy efficiency enhances operational performance, reduces costs, and boosts asset value!! Let’s discuss how your portfolio can stay ahead in a shifting energy compliance landscape.
