Seattle (July 2) – Following the signing of the new 2030 building efficiency pilot legislation to create the City’s most sustainable buildings, Seattle Mayor Jenny A. Durkan released the following statement:
“Seattle has always invented the future and the creation of this new pilot further establishes us as a leader combating the negative impacts of climate change. Our city doesn’t have the luxury of entertaining climate change denial. With building energy as a leading cause of pollution, our City can remain on the leading edge of construction and operation of buildings that meet the highest green standards while fostering a healthy environment.”
