Receive hands on technical support to prepare for Seattle BEPS and WA Clean Buildings compliance

Through the group training experience, participants learn from coaches, engineers, and their peers. Participants receive hands-on technical support to prepare for compliance. We call these group training experiences “cohorts.” The multifamily-only cohorts are tailored for owners and managers of apartment buildings, especially subsidized or unsubsidized affordable apartment buildings, and condo/co-op managers or board volunteers. The nonresidential cohorts are tailored for owners and managers of nonprofit and private buildings like offices, retail, museums, houses of worship, community centers, and more. Cohorts are offered virtually and in-person.

Available to cohort graduates, Drop-In Hours are intended to help participants get unstuck. These virtual group calls are with a coach and/or engineer and focus on specific compliance topics, provide law updates, and time for building-specific Q&A.

Emissions reduction planning support is offered to some cohort members, based on program criteria that include, but are not limited to, significant gas/steam use, age of equipment, and organizational readiness and capacity. This ensures that the program’s limited resources are used to help participants who are a good fit for emissions reduction planning activities. The result is an action-oriented report outlining opportunities to reduce emissions to meet Seattle BEPS.
