Washington State takes strongest clean commercial buildings action in the nation
On Friday, April 22, the State Building Code Council voted 11-3 to pass the strongest climate-friendly commercial and large multifamily energy code in the nation! A number of key efficiency and electrification proposals were adopted, including requiring heat pumps for space and water heating in nearly all new commercial and large multifamily buildings, electric-ready provisions, and increased solar-readiness and use of renewables. The code updates, which are set to take effect in July 2023, will impact all new commercial buildings in Washington including multi-family residences four-stories and taller.
