Submission runs through ODOE's live BEAM portal (orbps.beam-portal.org); voluntary early submissions have been accepted since July 1, 2026.

Civil penalties apply only to noncompliant Tier 1 buildings: capped at $5,000 plus $1 per sq ft of gross floor area per year of continuing violation; reducible to 30% of $5,000 plus $0.20/sq ft if the owner works with ODOE on a compliance plan; assessed penalties due within 30 days (BPS 010 guidance, 10-24-2025).

How to comply

Step by step

  1. Determine the building's tier: Tier 1 (nonresidential/hotel/motel, 35,000+ sq ft, full EUI performance standard) or Tier 2 (nonresidential 20,000-35,000 sq ft, or multifamily/institutional 35,000+ sq ft, reporting only).

  2. Register and report through the Building Energy Analysis Manager (BEAM) portal (orbps.beam-portal.org), Oregon's live submission system.

  3. Track the building's phased Tier 1 deadline (June 1, 2028/2029/2030 by size) or Tier 2 deadline (July 1, 2028), and consider voluntary early submission for the early-compliance incentive.

FAQ

Common questions

Is the Oregon state program active yet?

Yes — rules are final (OAR 330-300, effective Jan 1, 2025) and the BEAM portal is live for voluntary early submissions since July 1, 2026, but nothing is mandatory before the first Tier 1 deadline of June 1, 2028.

Does the Oregon state program replace Portland's city-level reporting?

No — Portland's own 20,000 sq ft commercial reporting requirement (due April 22 each year) continues in parallel; a Portland building 20,000+ sq ft will eventually owe both the city's annual filing and the state's tier-based obligations.
