The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $10,000,000 Project Grant under the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Information Dissemination, Outreach, Training and Technical Analysis/Assistance program (CFDA 81.117) to the Washington State Department of Commerce. The grant supports activities to ensure strong implementation and compliance with Washington's Clean Building Performance Standards (CBPS) law, which aims to lower energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Key products and services include:
-
Providing support to at least 2,000 buildings to fulfill CBPS reporting requirements, with varying levels of technical assistance provided by Beacon Fellows. This is expected to help accelerate the clean buildings workforce in the Pacific Northwest to meet net-zero goals.
