Local Government Buildings

iStock-458932171.jpg Maryland’s state and local government-owned buildings provide an opportunity to lead by example through the investment of energy efficiency, e​lectrification, and onsite renewable energy. Lowering energy use can help local governments shift funds towards better serving their constituents.​

Many public buildings may be subject to Maryland’s Building Energy Performance Standards (BEPS), which covers buildings 35,000 square feet and larger. Owners ​of covered buildings under the regulation are required to annually report their energy use and emissions. 

The Maryland Clean Buildings Hub (the Hub), an initiative of the Maryland Energy Administration, aims to empower Maryland’s building owners to make well-informed energy investments in their properties by connecting them to financial, educational, and technical assistance. Sign-up for the Hub newsletter here. ​Questions may be directed to [email protected]

Incentives 
Maryland’s local governments can tap into a range of incentives to help offset the costs of energy efficiency, electrification, or onsite renewable energy measures to existing or new buildings. The Maryland Clean Buildings Hub is committed to help building owners and operators understand the range of incentives for which they may qualify.
