In this podcast episode of BUILD St. Louis, Kerry Smith, owner of Construction News and Review magazine, introduces Jeremy Welch, a project engineer, and Chris Ruth, the Mid Missouri Controls Manager from Integrated Facility Services (IFS), as they discuss the significance of the Building Energy Performance Standard (BEPS) in 2024. BEPS mandates buildings over 50,000 square feet in St. Louis to benchmark their energy use intensity (EUI), with the top third of buildings setting the EUI target for the rest. 2024 marks the first analysis year, determining each building's score. EUI, or energy use intensity, measures a building's energy use per square foot annually, aiding in efficiency comparisons. St. Louis is considered proactive in adopting BEPS, and IFS assists building owners across Missouri and parts of Illinois in assessing energy usage and implementing improvements to meet BEPS requirements. Welch and Ruth emphasize the importance of optimizing existing systems or investing in energy-efficient upgrades, with benefits extending beyond BEPS compliance. They encourage building owners to reach out to IFS for assistance, emphasizing their coverage beyond St. Louis and available resources like the Missouri Gateway Green Building Council and the Building Energy Exchange for support in navigating BEPS compliance.
