Building energy use accounts for over 20% of Seattle’s greenhouse gas emissions. We need your help to choose the most important building energy-related actions to take in the next three years.

I do not support mandatory energy benchmarking for small, multi-family buildings. I spent HOURS trying to comply with this regulation last year and I was so relieved when they made it optional. Small buildings do not have property management companies, or professional staff with the know-how to do this!! This leaves it to the hapless residents to spend their free time/work time trying to navigate EPA’s insanely complicated Web site! Please have mercy on the average citizen and do not mandate benchmarking. Thank you.
