The Clean Buildings Performance Standard is mandatory for Tier 1 buildings located in the state of Washington. A Tier 1 building (formerly known as covered commercial building) is a building where the sum of nonresidential, hotel, motel and dormitory floor areas exceeds 50,000 sq. ft, excluding the parking garage area.

The Clean Buildings Portal is a database of all Tier 1 buildings and provides Tier 1 building owners a secure system to manage their building’s compliance with the Clean Buildings Performance Standard and submit applications to the Early Adopter Incentive Program.

Building Owner Notifications Letters have been mailed.
Each notification letter includes instructions on how to create a Secure Access Washington (SAW) account and a unique code needed to access the Portal. You will need the unique code to sign in to the Portal. Use the video and guides on this page, to assist you in signing up. 

• If you own a Tier 1 and did not receive a notification letter with a code to access the Portal, please complete this form. 
• If an authorized representative requires access, please have them complete the Shared Access Request Form.

Data Verification

Data Verification is the process we use to correct information about misidentified buildings. Data verification can be done through the Clean Buildings Portal below. If you own multiple buildings and only some of those buildings need to comply, submit your application through the Portal.

See the Data Verification Application guide for more information.

Misidentified buildings include:
Structures that are not actual buildings (e.g. docks and piers); buildings that are less than 50,000 sq. ft; or if you are not the owner of the building.
