The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), under the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Information Dissemination, Outreach, Training and Technical Analysis/Assistance program (CFDA 81.117), awarded a $3.2M Cooperative Agreement to Rutgers, The State University to advance the development and implementation of evidence-based, effective, and equitable Building Performance Standards (BPS) for existing buildings in New Jersey. The project aims to determine paths forward for BPS standards, develop recommendations for supporting city, state, and utility programs, implement new training needed to execute performance standards, and produce a replicable playbook for other jurisdictions to follow. This 18-month project, with a performance period from Jan 1, 2025 to Jun 30, 2026, will help prepare the market for the adoption and implementation of BPS in New Jersey.
