Seattle DPD Announces Energy Code Revision Process

February 1, 2010 By Brittany Quigley

John Hogan of the Seattle Department of Planning and Development recently announced a process for revision to the non-residential energy code for the City of Seattle. His e-mail states;
“Resolution 30280 (Section 1.B.i) directs DPD and Seattle City Light to “propose to the City Council…amendments to the Seattle Energy Code…to achieve up to 20% enhanced energy efficiency beyond the current version of ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1”. The 2006 Seattle Energy Code achieved approximately 20% energy savings compared to ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004. However, since that time, ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2007 has been published and it contains significant energy efficiency improvements. More recently, ASHRAE/USGBC/IESNA Standard 189.1, High-Performance Green Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, was published, providing criteria for all aspects of green buildings.”

DPD has scheduled a series of meetings to discuss these proposed amendments. All meetings will take place in the Seattle Municipal Tower (SMT), 700 Fifth Avenue, starting at 7:30 am.
