EFX20 Summer Webinar Series – Washington’s New Clean Buildings Law: Challenges and Opportunities

August 11, 2020 By SBC staff

Washington State’s Clean Building Law, HB 1257, will create a performance-based energy standard based on ASHRAE Standard 100 for commercial buildings larger than 50,000 sq. ft. This new law represents compliance challenges and opportunities for utilities. In addition to penalties for building owners that do not meet the standard, the law also requires utilities to provide building owners energy data and administrative support on payments for an early adopter incentive program. Hear from utilities and state agencies about compliance implications for utilities and how the law provides an opportunity for increased conservation program participation.

Moderator: Bryan Russo, Tacoma Power

Panelists:

  • Chuck Murray, WA Department of Commerce
  • Tom Lienhard, Avista
  • Joseph Fernandi, Seattle City Light
  • Beth Robinweiler, Puget Sound Energy
