Requires new residential buildings to be installed with solar energy systems that meet a minimum requirement for per foot energy production.
Requires that new buildings be outfitted with a solar energy system.
An interdisciplinary public-private collaborative working to create a groundbreaking high-performance building district in downtown Seattle. The district’s goals include carbon neutrality in all new construction by 2030.
Combines a model building energy standard with a policy approach to require the adoption of renewable energy to projects to offset designed energy use to achieve zero net energy in buildings.
Offers 3 updated compliance pathways: one for all electric construction, one for limited mixed fuel (gas stoves) construction, and mixed fuel construction.
Requires higher energy efficiency standards and electrification readiness in mixed fuel buildings.
Encourages all-electric construction by requiring any new building with gas to achieve higher energy-efficiency savings and be “electrification ready.”
Requires all-electric new construction for all residential buildings (single-family and multifamily, including high-rise) as well as new commercial buildings. For low-rise residential (under four stories), the city will allow gas for cooking.
Does not require all-electric new construction, but encourages it by requiring additional energy efficiency measures for new buildings with gas.
