Seattle’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory shows that city-wide emissions have stopped decreasing, and in some cases are beginning to increase; the City of Seattle will not be able to make significant progress towards emissions reduction without decarbonizing our energy supply. The City is exploring policies and programs that would transition Seattle away from fossil fuels to zero-emissions energy in our cars, trucks, buses, and buildings.

The City of Seattle is seeking input from you on how such a transition may affect your business or employment and what you may need for this transition.

If you identify as either a fossil fuel-related or clean energy-related business or organization, or an intensive user of either, please complete this 10 to 15 minute survey, linked below, by Thursday October 8th. Your perspective will provide invaluable input into policymaking processes. All information will be treated as confidential and not shared with any third party.

The advent of LED technology brought an unprecedented year-over-year proliferation of commercial lighting options and applications. And while this fast-paced evolution has made commercial lighting more complex than ever, it also offers building operators and managers a wide variety of nuanced solutions to provide long-lasting energy- and cost-savings for building owners and every-day benefits to occupants.

Enter to win a custom grant covering up to 100% of your project with the Elevate your Efficiency Challenge.

Invest in energy efficiency, we’ll cover up to 100%

Puget Sound Energy’s (PSE) Custom Grants program is launching something exciting for 2020 (we could all use some good news!).

The Elevate your Efficiency Challenge is a limited-time-only extension of PSE’s standard custom grants program, which normally offers incentives for energy savings at $0.35 per kWh and $5 per therm, up to 70 percent of an energy-efficiency project’s costs.

With the Elevate your Efficiency Challenge, PSE business customers can earn $0.50 per kWh and $7 per therm, covering up to 100 percent of a project’s costs. This is a chance to tackle an entire energy-saving upgrade, earn a bigger grant and possibly have the bill covered entirely. That’s a big deal!

Read more about this exciting new challenge, and then get your project proposal submitted by Dec. 1, 2020.

Get Started

For a limited time, buildings owners who upgrade their low-performing single or double pane windows with secondary windows can receive an incentive of up to $10,000 by participating in a field test run by Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA), in partnership with local utilities. In addition to this incentive, owners will receive special pricing from the six participating manufacturers, 15-30% off the material cost depending on the manufacturer. Additional participant benefits may include incentives, professional photography and marketing, and technical support from NEEA. If you’re looking to improve your envelope, increase tenant comfort, and reduce outside noise and air infiltration, this is a great opportunity to leverage technical support and product discounts, while the building is empty or partially empty.

To see if your office or hospitality building qualifies for the field test or to learn more, email Jordan Pratt from Energy 350 at [email protected].
