Alliant Systems’ Building Performance Services Team assisted the Fern Ridge School District in securing incentives for round one of the "Early Compliance Action and Planning Program (ECAPP)" for getting a head start complying with Oregon's Building Performance Standard. The incentive will assist Fern Ridge School District in offsetting the costs of early planning activities associated with Building Performance Standard compliance, such as energy benchmarking and reporting or conducting an energy audit.
"As we know, schools are regulated to death. Honestly, I wasn't thrilled with having to deal with another unfunded mandate and all of the requirements required around the BPS Compliance. Working with Alliant Systems has been great. Their team broke down what needed to be done and helped secure early incentive money to pay for it all. It has been great taking care of compliance without a headache."

Fern Ridge School District - 28J
Oregon Legislature passed House Bill 3409 in 2025 establishing Building Performance Standards for commercial and multifamily buildings over 20,000 square feet.
The law requires covered commercial buildings to report energy usage and sets a standard for energy use targets; the earliest compliance date for some buildings is 2028.
According to ODOE, the awarded incentives will support up to four compliance actions: energy benchmarking and reporting, energy management plans and operations and maintenance programs, energy audits, and achieving compliance. There is an additional round of ECAPP starting soon.
Congratulations to our Building Performance Services Team and Fern Ridge School District on their selection!
Rely on Alliant to be compliant! We can assist you in navigating Oregon’s Building Performance Standards (BPS) and/or Washington’s Clean Buildings Performance Standard (CBPS), including guidance with funding.
