Reporting for Boston's Building Emissions Reduction and Disclosure Ordinance (BERDO) has changed for 2022. In this webinar, those who are new to reporting can learn how to benchmark buildings in Energy Star Portfolio Manager (ESPM), and those who have used ESPM before can learn about the new process to submit that data for BERDO. 

The listening session will take place on Zoom on March 6, 2023, from 1:30 to 3 p.m. (EST).

Environment Department staff will provide an update on BERDO reporting compliance and introduce the key regulatory topics that will be covered in Phase 3 of the regulations development process. We will also welcome comments, questions, or feedback on any topics related to BERDO regulations and reporting as time allows. Please register for the meeting.

The session will take place on Zoom on March 2, 2023 from 6:00 to 700 p.m. EST. Please register for the event here.

At this meeting, the BERDO team will provide an overview of the BERDO Review Board, including the requirements and responsibilities of future Review Board members. We will also devote time to answer questions from the public on any topics relating to the Review Board and the Review Board member nomination process that is currently open. 

We encourage any individual and organization interested in nominating a Review Board member to attend this event. A recording will be shared on boston.gov/berdo following the session.
