The Building Energy Performance Program aims to achieve efficient energy and water use in the largest non-residential buildings in Philadelphia. All non-residential buildings with indoor floor space of at least 50,000 square feet must comply.
Buildings have three options for compliance with the Building Energy Performance Program. They can:
- Conduct a “tune-up” of existing building systems.
- Certify high performance.
- Receive an exemption.
This form is for building owners seeking an exemption. Buildings can seek an exemption if:
- Your building received its initial certificate of occupancy within 3 years of the scheduled tune-up date.
- Your building is scheduled to be demolished within one year of the date of the scheduled tune-up.
- Such other factors as determined by the Office of Sustainability to justify an exemption.
