SUMMARY:Seattle’s Building Emissions Performance Standard: What You Need to Know Now
DESCRIPTION:Start getting prepared for this new requirement! \nBEPS applies to existing nonresidential and multifamily buildings greater than 20\,000 square feet and sets carbon emissions targets that buildings must meet over time to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. Compliance starts with benchmarking data verification and emissions reporting requirements due starting in 2027 to encourage planning and action to meet first emissions targets by 2031-2035. \nJoin Nicole Ballinger from OSE for a webinar on Thursday\, February 1 from 10:00 to 11:30. Hosted by the Lighting Design Lab. \nLearn the basics of BEPS\, hear about 2024 rulemaking and program design planning\, and get a sneak peek into how to estimate a building’s emissions using a greenhouse gas intensity metric. Q and A to follow. \nRegister for the webinar

SUMMARY:Estimating Your Building’s Emissions and Draft Targets for the Proposed Seattle Building Emissions Performance Standards (BEPS)
DESCRIPTION:Are you new to understanding your building’s greenhouse gas emissions and want to learn some simple steps to understand your building’s climate impact? Join the Office of Sustainability & Environment (OSE) on this beginner-friendly webinar to learn how to quickly estimate and track your building’s current emissions using local utility emissions factors and ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager data. Then learn how to estimate emissions reduction targets using details from the proposed BEPS policy. OSE will also provide a brief overview of the proposed BEPS policy and the current policy timeline. The presentation will be followed by an opportunity for comments and questions. This webinar is a follow-up to the online open houses and emissions targets analysis webinar last year. Recordings and slides from those events are available at www.seattle.gov/building-performance-standards. \nTranslation services are available upon request. Call (206) 233-7184 or email cleanbuildings@seattle.gov. \nAbout the Proposed Policy: Performance standards are a powerful tool to reduce climate pollution and transition toward cleaner\, healthier buildings where we live and work. The proposed BEPS policy is projected to reduce emissions from Seattle’s buildings (in total) 27% by 2050. This proposed policy would gradually phase out carbon pollution from existing nonresidential and multifamily buildings over 20\,000 sq. ft. through mandatory greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions targets beginning 2027 for the largest nonresidential buildings. Targets would become more stringent over time\, to net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. Visit www.seattle.gov/building-performance-standards for more information.

SUMMARY:A Beginner’s Guide to Using Portfolio Manager for Benchmarking Law Compliance
DESCRIPTION:Are you a building owner who needs to comply with a mandatory benchmarking requirement? Do you have little or no experience using EPA’s Portfolio Manager tool? \nYou’ve come to the right place! This webinar will serve as a beginner’s guide to Portfolio Manager and provide you with all the essential “how-to” information you need to start benchmarking and reporting your building data to your local or state government. Topics covered will include understanding how state and local jurisdictions use EPA’s Portfolio Manager tool to facilitate reporting\, setting up your Portfolio Manager account and properties\, entering energy data\, and reporting or sharing data with your jurisdiction. \nNOTE: Each jurisdiction has different requirements for compliance. This webinar will not address requirements specific to any one local or state government\, but will present general information on how to use Portfolio Manager and report data in the ways most commonly required under these laws. \nAttend this webinar if you’re interested in:\n• How to comply with a state or local benchmarking ordinance\n• Getting started using Portfolio Manager\n• Requesting energy and water data from your utility\n• Getting assistance from an ENERGY STAR service and product provider company\n• Responding to a data request\n• Sharing your property with a local jurisdiction for reporting \nLevel: Beginner

SUMMARY:Decarbonization Policy Framework: Building Policies
DESCRIPTION:Decarbonizing our building stock requires a comprehensive set of actions\, occurring in parallel and phased in over time\, across different sectors and levels of government. NEEP’s Building Decarbonization Public Policy Framework lays out the pathway. A successful transition to zero carbon [buildings] will require market transformation with advanced technological solutions\, and equitable and fair policy mechanisms. Critical policy areas include comprehensive state and utility policy\, building regulation\, and alignment with evaluation\, measurement\, and verification (EM&V). \nBuildings consume about two-thirds of the United States’ power supply and produce about 40 percent of carbon emissions nationwide. Existing buildings and buildings being constructed now will have a considerable impact on our region’s energy use 50 to 100 years from now. Therefore\, the built environment\, including residential\, commercial\, and public structures\, presents an opportunity to drastically reduce carbon emissions. During this webinar we will learn from best practices in building codes\, benchmarking and building standards\, and residential labeling.
