Clean Buildings Performance Standard Document Library

The Clean Buildings Performance Standard (CBPS) is administered by the Clean Buildings Team at the Department of Commerce.

CBPS consists of ASHRAE Standard 100-2018 and state amendments WAC194-50, visit the Clean Buildings homepage to download the integrated document. The integrated document is the reference used to meet compliance; however, the Clean Buildings Team drafted guides and tools to facilitate accurate interpretation of the CBPS. Find active guidance documents, flow charts and tools in the table below. If you have questions, please email Buildings@Commerce.wa.gov.
