Increases compliance pathways for the clean buildings performance standard.

The bill amends the clean buildings performance standard to increase compliance pathways. It allows building owners to apply for extensions to compliance dates under certain conditions. It also provides alternative compliance pathways for certain buildings, including those contributing to a historic district, those in financial hardship, and those in high-risk communities. The bill requires the Department of Commerce to establish a state energy performance standard for covered commercial buildings and to develop energy use intensity targets and methods of conditional compliance.
