Support Seattle’s Clean Energy Future Today

Burning fossil fuels to heat and power buildings is one of Seattle’s largest and fastest-growing sources of climate pollution. Fortunately, the City of Seattle is proposing improvements to its Commercial Energy Code, which sets energy standards for new commercial and large multifamily residential buildings.

So it’s critical that City Councilmembers hear from as many NRDC Action Fund supporters as possible right away.

If passed, this new update could have the potential to set Seattle’s building stock – which will last for generations — on a path that dramatically lowers fossil fuel use and climate pollution.

And it will help improve air quality both indoors and outdoors, reduce wasted energy, save residents and businesses money, and make Seattle a healthier, more economically vibrant city for all.

Dear City Councilmember:
Cc: Citywide Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda
Council President Lorena González

Fossil fuel use -- primarily burning oil and gas -- to heat and power buildings is one of the largest and fastest-growing sources of climate pollution in Seattle.

Therefore, as your constituent, I am writing to urge you to pass the proposed updates to the Seattle Commercial Energy Code.

If passed, these updates will:

* Eliminate most fossil fuel uses in new building construction by requiring clean, renewable electricity for space and water heating
* Make buildings more energy efficient to save energy and reduce tenant costs
* Ensure that more buildings have solar-ready rooftops

The proposed updates will help improve air quality both indoors and outdoors, fight the climate crisis, reduce wasted energy, save residents and businesses money, and make Seattle a healthier, more economically vibrant city for future generations.

Please do everything you can to make our newest buildings more efficient, healthy, and climate resilient.
