We make buildings and homes more efficient.
Clean Buildings programs
Washington’s Clean Buildings initiative helps reduce energy use, lower costs and create healthier communities. We provide guidance and financial support to help building owners and households make smart, long-lasting energy improvements.
Support for commercial, multifamily and public buildings
Our team offers direct compliance assistance and grant funding to help building owners meet state energy efficiency requirements. We also provide incentives for early adopters who take steps to improve energy performance ahead of schedule.
Rebates for households
Our rebate programs make it easier for families to buy and install high efficiency appliances and home energy improvements. These rebates support low and moderate income households, helping reduce energy bills and improve home comfort.
