Preparing for Building Policy: This resource aims to enhance city personnel perspectives on how the real estate industry functions—including how different market actors work together throughout the various phases of a building’s lifecycle—and foster more meaningful conversations with stakeholders.
For cities exploring and implementing building performance standards, a high-performance building hub provides critical guidance, technical assistance, or access to available incentives to building owners, designers, contractors, and operators.
This document provides a high-level overview of the Institute for Market Transformation’s (IMT) model ordinance for a building performance standard (BPS).
IMT’s model ordinance is intended to provide the structural foundation for a strong BPS ordinance in any jurisdiction.
This module is meant to provide a starting point for jurisdictions to engage with community members on building-related issues that are important to the community.
