The Washington State Clean Buildings Act (RCW 19.27A.210) requires commercial buildings over 50,000 square feet meet energy use intensity targets or a financial investment in energy reduction threshold. Five County owned buildings and one complex are required to comply. Our target for 2023 is to have 3 buildings meet this standard, our target for 2024 is 4 buildings, and our target for 2025 is 5 buildings.
