City Program Expands, More Buildings to Improve Energy Efficiency
The City of Seattle is sending letters to the owners of 8,000 buildings this week informing them of its new building energy-efficiency program.

By benchmarking, owners get insight into how their building uses – and wastes – energy and can begin identifying opportunities to improve energy efficiency and increase savings.
