The Multifamily Strategic Energy Management (MSEM) program will launch in March! A second Commercial Strategic Energy Management cohort will launch in Fall 2026. This coaching and training program will help commercial and multifamily buildings lower their energy consumption, prepare to meet the requirements of the Washington Clean Buildings Performance Standard (WA CBPS) andโfor buildings within the city limits of Seattleโthe Seattle Building Emissions Performance Standard (Seattle BEPS).
