FAQs about Emission requirements for cabinet energy storage system batteries

Can nonresidential buildings be excluded from battery storage requirements?

Yes. Four exceptions can exclude nonresidential buildings from the battery storage system requirements: Single-tenant buildings with < 5,000 square feet of conditioned floor area (CFA). For multi-tenant buildings, the battery storage system energy and power capacities are based on tenant spaces > 5,000 square feet of CFA

Do battery energy storage systems comply with building codes?

Building codes: Battery energy storage systems (BESS) must comply with local building codes and fire safety regulations, which can vary across different geographies and municipalities. These codes are governed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in the U.S. and the performance-based European Standards (EN) in the European Union.

What are the safety requirements for a utility-scale battery project?

Safety is a top concern for utility-scale battery projects. In 2025, the European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE) published Guidelines on Safety Best Practices, covering product design, site management, and emergency response. For compliance, BESS projects must consider: Minimum capacity: Systems above 20 kWh fall under stricter rules.

Does a battery storage system need a rated usable energy capacity?

No. For compliance with the Energy Code the rated usable energy capacity of the battery storage system in kWh must be used for Equation 140.10-B - PDF. The usable capacity is the battery energy storage capacity in kWh that a manufacturer allows to be used for charging and discharging.
