The Building Emissions Reduction and Disclosure Ordinance (BERDO) sets the standard to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in the city of Boston, with a goal for all buildings to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. BERDO requires property owners to submit benchmarking reports showing total energy and water usage, use a third-party to verify reported data, and reduce emissions to meet set limits. Property owners who are not in compliance with emission levels face fines of up to $1,000 per day until reductions are met.
