Washington is ready to #BuildElectric! The State Building Codes Council has voted YES on #BuildingElectrification. Building with heat pumps instead of furnaces will make our homes healthier, more efficient, AND less expensive.

The transition to all-electric homes “is going to happen. It’s going to occur,” Mayor Eric Garcetti told me. “Our forests are burning, the days are hotter, our floods are more extreme … Do you want to fight the inevitable, or co-author the necessary?” https://t.co/1bOvNrt7Jl

My kind of love story!

⭐️on 22/4 another US state passed amendment to the state energy cofe to mandate all electric space & water heating in new commercial & multi-family construction; policy is moving.

Happy Earth Day! The WA Building Code Council just voted to require efficient electric heat pumps for most space and most* water heating in commercial and large multi family buildings. Solar on large commercial and lots of other efficiency too! New construction starting July 2023

[Sierra Club Washington State @SierraClubWASt]

#WA State Building Code Council just voted to pass the strongest clean electric building standards in the country!

☀️ Electric heat pumps
☀️ More #solar
☀️ Increased #energyefficiency

“A model for other states.” The new energy code leads the way nationally on #CleanEnergy

[Shift Zero @ShiftZeroWA]

@kim_nawon Glad to be of service!

[Shift Zero @ShiftZeroWA]

Thank you @GovInslee for signing SB5722 and HB1280 today - these are one step forward in the journey to cleaner and healthier buildings for all in Washington! @AlexRamel @senjoenguyen #waleg

[Seattle Office of Sustainability & Environment @SeattleOSE]

Help shape new policy to reduce #climate pollution from buildings! 🏙️🏬🏘️

OSE is conducting stakeholder engagement for potential future Seattle "Building Performance Standards" to reach net-zero carbon by 2050.

Gas heating bills have soared this winter & prices are expected to remain high through the end of the year. To insulate families, the US urgently needs to:
➡️invest in affordable #RenewableEnergy resources
➡️upgrade homes w/ #ElectricHeatPumps

In a little over ONE WEEK, we'll be convening for the first time in OVER TWO YEARS for our 14th Annual Celebration of Affordable Housing, and we're so grateful for the generous support of this year's Champion Sponsors! https://t.co/dR1kYZbZzb

FYI/ Hobson House is an #AllElectric, #PassiveHouse #AffordableHousing project. Sign up for the #OnlineEvent to find out more tomorrow at 4pm (PT). https://t.co/QPzhUxoo0E. Thanks @ShiftZeroWA for the heads-up!

@ShiftZeroWA @aiawa The costs of inaction are high and it's hard to justify the use of gas in new buildings now with electric technologies available, including heat pumps that work in cold weather and that also include cooling benefits in the summer. #electrifynow

[Davina Duerr 🌻☮️ 🇺🇸 @davinaduerr]

Happy to pass a technical fix bill on my C-PACER bill from 2020 session with my amazing Senate partner @SenLizLovelett !

[Washington Conservation Action @wa_conservation]

Buildings are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions in our state. SB 5722 would help drive down emissions and reduce energy costs for homes and businesses across WA. #waleg Urge your State Representative to support 5722 today

[AIA Washington @aiawa]

Tonight the Senate passed ⚡️HB1280 to pave the way for more state buildings to be all-electric. Now on to the gov’s desk. Thank you @ShiftZeroWA and @AlexRamel for leading the way.
#BuildingsAreAClimateSolution

[Climate Solutions | on bsky @climatesolution]

Today! Contact your #WALeg Senator in support of #HB1770.

WA local govts need tools to make sure new homes are built clean and energy-efficient, to achieve our emission goals, and to protect our communities' health. #Cleanbuildings = #climateleadership
