Don't miss commercial real estate’s annual update on newly introduced legislation impacting our industry. This meeting is the final step in the initial review process where we bring together members to review the bill list and set the direction for your advocates in Sacramento. BOMA California is a member driven organization and we rely on your feedback as part of this process!

To RSVP, contact Crystal Whitfield at cwhitfield@cbpa.com.

BOMA California is closely tracking the new California Building Performance Standards regulatory process that will begin in earnest this year. Authorized by California Senate Bill 48 (Becker; D-Menlo Park) and known as the Building Energy Savings Act, the effort aims to enhance energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the state's largest commercial buildings – new and existing. The law signed in 2023 directs the California Energy Commission (CEC) to develop an implementation strategy by July 1, 2026, meaning specific requirements and enforcement measures will roll out over time.

As an industry group we are working with allied stakeholders and looking for financial support to engage technical experts in this process. We must engage early to make sure technical and economic considerations are baked into the discussion to support good policy. If you are interested in more information, please let us know.

BOMA California’s Director of Communications & Marketing Will Hixson had a blast attending BOMA Silicon Valley’s 20th Annual Celebration of Commercial Real Estate & TOBY Awards in San Jose last Friday. The event honors member achievements from the previous year, including committee volunteers, PAC contributors, education leaders, and board members. Congratulations to all of the awardees!
