Description
The BEPS Technical Assistance Program, administered by the Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) through the Clean Buildings Hub, is designed to support Maryland building owners in meeting the state's Building Energy Performance Standards (BEPS). The program offers tailored, one-on-one technical assistance, including guidance on energy benchmarking and multi-year retrofit planning. Its primary aim is to help properties comply with BEPS, support state climate action goals, foster the adoption of best practices in building energy management, and promote green jobs. While the program is described as technical assistance rather than a direct grant or rebate, any grant-related components will follow MEA’s standard requirements.
