A clearer plan
for your building.

For a simple nonresidential building, Tier 2 applies above 20,000 and through 50,000 gross square feet, excluding parking. Multifamily above 20,000 square feet has no upper size cap. Mixed use and grouped buildings require a floor-area review.

Exactly 20,000 square feet does not exceed the Tier 2 threshold. Exactly 50,000 square feet remains Tier 2 for the simple nonresidential case; above 50,000 is Tier 1. Confirm the actual building definition and parking exclusions.

Commerce states July 1, 2027 for initial Tier 2 compliance reporting. A building-specific exemption or extension follows its own application and eligibility rules.

Exemptions require building-specific grounds and supporting records. Commerce says applications are due no later than six months before the mandatory compliance date. Confirm the exact accepted cutoff in the Portal; this site does not promise a January 2 cutoff.

No. An extension application needs a qualifying reason and evidence. Commerce describes a window from six months before to six months after the compliance date. An application is not an automatic approval, and it does not replace the remaining compliance work.

As early as possible. Utility authorization, meter matching and record quality can affect timing. Our April checkpoints are internal planning estimates, not statutory deadlines or utility guarantees.

A qualifying, owner-designated QEM reviews and attests to the supported building evidence. Jeff Casey’s course registration is submitted and access is pending; Meter & Mortar is not yet accepting QEM-dependent filing or signature work. B services are prepared for the owner’s qualifying QEM.

Say that during intake. Drafting a plan does not prove it has been implemented. The owner must implement the program and provide adequate evidence before an attestation can be supported. We do not impose a blanket extra twelve-month waiting period on every new program.

No. The calculator uses entered area and published rates, not confirmed eligible area, funding or approval. Participating utilities pay approved incentives; payment amounts and timing are not guaranteed. The fee is independent of any incentive.

A1 is $5,900 per eligible standard building, including both the EMP and O&M program. Half is due at signing and half at submission. Other products, portfolio variants and service-specific milestones appear on Pricing.

Before complete initial drafts of both EMP and O&M are delivered, the $2,950 initial payment is returned less $750. After both drafts and before submission, the initial $2,950 is retained; the remaining $2,950 is not due unless submitted. Other services require their own written cancellation terms.

Site visits, repairs, capital work, Tier 1 full filings, audits and engineering stamps are excluded. The F menu includes limited Tier 1 O&M drafting without a Tier 1 signature or full filing.

Late filing and notice-response preparation are separate menu items, accepted only after review. Neither promises penalty relief. Future-cycle work and annual maintenance require defined terms; no automatic renewal is assumed.

E7 remains on the approved menu at $3,900. Acceptance depends on separately verifying Oregon eligibility, Form Q prequalification, professional listing and portal access. Washington training alone does not establish Oregon qualification.
