As of 2025, covered buildings (>35,000 sqft and not exempt) are required to report annual energy usage and associated greenhouse gas emissions into the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. The deadline for 2025 reporting is September 1, 2025.

(It’s basically like filing taxes, but for pollution.)

Maryland is implementing Building Energy Performance Standards (BEPS) as required under the Climate Solutions Now Act of 2022. The goal is for covered buildings to ​achieve net-zero direct greenhouse gas emissions by 2040.
