Clean Building Performance Webinar Series and New and Updated Guidance Documents

April 21, 2026 By SBC staff

CBPS Webinar Series: How to submit a Tier 1 compliance application

The first compliance deadline for Tier 1 buildings over 220,000 square feet is approaching quickly. To help building owners and their teams, the Clean Buildings team is hosting a webinar on how to submit a Tier 1 compliance application through the Clean Buildings Portal.

Join us on May 6, 2025, at 10 a.m. This session is designed for all Tier 1 covered buildings and will walk participants through accessing the portal, setting up shared access, connecting your compliance application to ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, and completing the submission. Whether you’re preparing your first application or want to make sure everything is submitted correctly, this webinar will provide step-by-step guidance and helpful tips.
