Current coverage
— program libraries across — states.
Peak Energy Advisors maintains structured program records so public updates can connect back to source-backed program detail.
Building Compliance Deadline Watch
A practical national briefing for building owners and portfolio teams.
Track emerging benchmarking, building performance standard, audit, retro-commissioning, and data verification requirements without turning every ordinance update into a research project.
How to use this page
Designed for owner-side decisions, not policy theater.
Each briefing separates verified official-source notes from watchlist items that still need source confirmation before a filing, outreach claim, or proposal.
Owner-side translation
What changed, who is covered, and what comes next for owners?
The point is not just to name deadlines. The point is to translate them into portfolio risk and next actions.
Risk review path
Move from public briefing into building-level review.
When a deadline may affect a real asset, move into a portfolio risk review or building triage before assuming scope.
First issue
March 2026 compliance season watchlist
This first issue starts from Touchstone IQ's March 2026 newsletter and Peak's official-source Lakewood intake. Items outside Lakewood are watchlist notes until verified against official program sources.

Performance evaluation watchlist
Washington, D.C. and Newton
Performance evaluation years and pre-standard improvement windows matter because the expensive decisions often happen before the first enforcement year. Portfolio teams can identify exposed assets early.

Priority jurisdiction briefs
Start with Colorado and keep the national watchlist practical.
High-value program records become owner-facing briefs when they are local, actionable, and useful for real portfolio decisions. Lakewood is live first because it is new, local, and ready for building-level review.
