Get expert help from PSE on Clean Buildings Law compliance



PSE supports building owners and operators to comply with Washington state’s Clean Buildings Law, even if they use electricity from other utilities like Seattle City Light, Tacoma Power or Snohomish PUD.


Our Clean Buildings Accelerator program unpacks the complex law, meets you where you’re at with your energy use and goals, and coaches you to comply through a hands-on series of virtual trainings. We use your own building(s) as examples and help you leverage PSE’s energy management and incentive programs to meet and exceed your benchmarking targets.


Space in the Clean Buildings Accelerator program is limited for these last 2 sessions of 2024 and compliance dates are quickly creeping up for the largest buildings. Visit pse.com/cleanbuildings to learn more and join one of our upcoming information sessions on Sept 18 or Oct 15. The next training cohorts begin Sept. 11 and Oct 29.


Uncertain about the Clean Buildings Law or our Accelerator program? Check out this short video. If you have questions or need more information, please contact us at cleanbuildings@pse.com.
