The Non Residential Energy Code portion of the Washington State Energy Code can be made more stringent by local jurisdictions at their choosing (the residential energy code is mini-maxi). The City of Seattle has historically followed the statewide code adoption process with a Seattle Energy Code. The WSEC is changing dramatically effective July 1, 2010 (NEEC will be posting information about those changes on the Resource section of its website) and the City of Seattle is in the final stages of a public input process for the development of the Seattle Energy Code. For updates on the status of that development, visit the city’s DPD website.
 The Northwest Energy Efficiency Council transitioned to the name Building Potential in 2024. The organization’s legal name remains the same and the Board of Directors and Staff have not changed. |
