About the Policy:Ā Performance standards are a powerful tool to reduce climate pollution and transition toward cleaner, healthier buildings where we live and work.Ā This policy is projected to reduce emissions from Seattleās buildings (in total) 27% by 2050. This policyĀ would gradually phase out carbon pollution from existing nonresidential and multifamily buildings over 20,000 sq. ft. through mandatory greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions targets beginning 2026 for the largest nonresidential buildings. Targets would become more stringent over time, to net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. VisitĀ www.seattle.gov/building-performance-standardsĀ for more information and timeline.
