Montgomery County Executive Elrich Champions Legislation That Would Make County First in Nation to Establish ‘BEPS’ Energy Saving Standards for Buildings
For Immediate Release: Monday, July 19, 2021
Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich has proposed new legislation (Bill 16-21) that will expand the number of buildings covered by the County’s Benchmarking Law and require the use of less energy. County Department of Environmental Protection Director Adam Ortiz will testify on the bill on behalf of County Executive Elrich at public hearing before the County Council at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 20. If the bill is approved, Montgomery will become the first county in the nation to establish a Building Energy Performance Standards (BEPS) policy that sets a minimum energy performance threshold for existing buildings.
