Tier 1 deadlines are live: buildings over 220,000 SF were due June 1, 2026, the 90,000-220,000 SF group is due June 1, 2027, and 50,000-90,000 SF follows in 2028. Tier 2 (20,001+ SF) reports by July 2027. Missing a deadline costs $5,000 + $1.00/SF per cycle. We develop your Energy Management Plan, O&M Plan, and EUI target analysis as a Qualified Person under CBPS, with direct experience managing compliance across large institutional portfolios.
Campus and district energy systems must develop 15-year decarbonization plans. Connected buildings must meet CBPS benchmarking, EMP, and O&M requirements. We build these plans and manage the alternative compliance pathway.
Buildings >25,000 SF face carbon caps with penalties of $268/metric ton over limit. Stricter 2030 limits will affect 80% of covered buildings. We calculate your emissions, model compliance pathways, and develop decarbonization roadmaps.
Annual reporting, third-party verification, and declining emissions caps through 2050. Alternative compliance payments of $234/metric ton. We handle benchmarking, verification, and reduction strategy.
7% emissions reduction by 2026, 20% by 2030 for buildings >50,000 SF. Annual benchmarking required. We manage compliance pathway selection and energy efficiency planning.
Penalties of $10/SF (capped at $7.5M). Currently covers buildings >50,000 SF (fines began Nov. 2025); expands to >25,000 SF ~2028 and >10,000 SF ~2034. We provide benchmarking, compliance pathway implementation, and penalty avoidance strategies.
Annual benchmarking required for commercial buildings >50,000 SF. SB 253 adds Scope 1-3 GHG reporting for large corporations. We manage Portfolio Manager submissions and GHG quantification.

Green Check Solutions brings over 13 years of expertise to the intersection of energy, finance, and data. From conducting Scope 1-3 greenhouse gas inventories for large commercial clients at a global energy consulting firm to managing utility billing, capital projects, and Clean Buildings Performance Standard compliance across major institutional portfolios. The team leads district energy decarbonization strategy and legislative compliance for energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions, including Washington's Clean Buildings Act (HB 1257) and district energy requirements under HB 1390. Every credential, from Certified Energy Manager to Lean Six Sigma Certified, sharpens the approach applied to the problems your buildings face.
Green Check Solutions was founded on a pattern recognized repeatedly across portfolios: utility billing errors that go uncaught for years, tax exemptions left on the table, and energy waste hiding behind outdated processes. A background as Utility Tax Analysts and Utility Demand Analysts at a global energy consulting firm means knowing exactly where to look on your invoices. Expertise with SkySpark, Energy Star Portfolio Manager, and custom analytics dashboards means the tools to stay on top of it going forward.
Green Check Solutions is a fully remote firm serving clients across the country. Every engagement is delivered remotely: no site visits required, no geographic limitations. Every analysis receives direct expert attention backed by real-world experience managing energy portfolios at both the corporate and institutional scale.
Answers to the questions we hear most from building owners and facility managers.
A utility bill audit is a line-by-line review of your electric, gas, water, and steam bills to identify billing errors, rate misclassifications, missed tax exemptions, and other overcharges. Most organizations have never had their bills reviewed this way, and errors are common. Our audits typically uncover significant recoverable costs.
Engagements are scoped and quoted individually by portfolio size and service. For utility tax recovery we work on a contingency basis: you only pay when we find recoverable savings. Email us for a scoped proposal based on your number of accounts.
For utility tax recovery engagements, we work on contingency. If we don't find recoverable overcharges or savings, you pay nothing. We only succeed when you do. Our incentives are aligned with yours from day one.
Building performance standards (BPS) are laws requiring commercial buildings to meet energy or emissions targets by specific deadlines, with financial penalties for non-compliance. Over 40 US jurisdictions now have some form of BPS, including Washington State, NYC, Boston, DC, Colorado, and California. If you own or manage commercial buildings over 20,000–50,000 SF in these jurisdictions, you are likely covered. Contact us for a free compliance assessment.
