Benchmarking Enforcement Grace Periods for 2021 Reports Extended
A full year of accurate 2021 performance data was due to the City of Seattle by July 1, 2022, to be considered compliant. The Office of Sustainability and Environment (OSE) Director extended the enforcement grace period an additional 90 days to allow more time for PSE customers missing natural gas to adapt to the new EnergyCAP® system. Building owners now have until January 2, 2023, to submit 2021 annual benchmark reports.

Cohort 4 Buildings Reach 80% Compliance
Congratulations to the owners and Tune-Up Specialists representing Cohort 4 buildings (50,000 – 69,999 SF) for meeting the Tune-Up requirement by the April 1 deadline enforcement deadline. About 90% have completed a Tune-Up and implemented required corrective actions, achieved alternative compliance through demonstrating high performance (80%) - or have a one-year extension in place (11%). In May, 29 Notice of Violations were issued to building owners of non-compliant Cohort 4 buildings. Most owners are actively working to complete their tune-up and anticipate achieving compliance before the deadline of October 1, 2022.
Learn more about Tune-Ups enforcement and the appeals process.

Second Compliance Cycle
The second cycle of compliance for Tune-Ups starts in 2023. Buildings in the first cohort (over 200,000 sf of nonresidential space) should be planning for action now.
Some commonly asked questions about the second cycle:
How will the State Clean Buildings requirements impact Tune-Ups compliance?
See our FAQs and reach out to our help desk if you have questions
When will claim codes be ready in the compliance portal?
Claim codes are ready now – if you’d like to get started, please email us at [email protected] and ask for you claim code. Claim letters will be sent to building owners this summer.
How does COVID impact alternative compliance?
Many alternative compliance pathways do not allow changes in occupancy to account for low EUIs, EUI reductions, or high ENERGY STAR scores. If you’re planning to apply for alternative compliance for the second cycle and aren’t sure if you qualify, reach out to our help desk for a consultation.
