USING DATA TO DRIVE ENERGY EFFICIENCY ACTION
Seattle’s Climate Goal: Carbon Neutral City by 2050
2013 Climate Action Plan Strategy
What We’ve Done to Get Started
• Major building renovations require compliance with current energy code
• Energy Benchmarking and Disclosure requirement
• And more ….
Measuring Progress
• Climate Action Plan TargetsBuilding Energy Use (2008-2050)
Target Reduction: 1.25% / year
GHG Intensity of Fuels (2008-2050)
Target Reduction: 1.5% / year
Overall Building Emissions (2008-2050)
Target Reduction: 2% / year
Actual 2008-2012: 0.75% / year
Actual 2008-2012: 1.75% / year
Actual 2008-2012: 2.5% / year
Next Steps
• More detailed analysis and tracking– Translating citywide targets to
individual building types– More detailed forecasting and
analysis of potential policy impacts• Considering “Next Generation”
Energy Efficiency policies and programs
Efficiency Policies & Programs
POTENTIAL NEXT STEPS
• Full public disclosure of information
• Commissioning / Retro-commissioning requirements
• New incentives
• Performance targets / requirements
How can we make the most of our Benchmarking data and relationships to
reach our goals?

Potential Savings
15
$55 million saved each year if all buildings with high energy use improved to become average energy users = 25% total energy savings.
$90 million saved each year if all buildings with high energy use improved to become low energy users = 40% total energy savings.
