Washington State Department of Commerce
Summary
The Washington State Department of Commerce today announced eight State Project Improvement grants for $4,850,000 to help state-owned facilities pay for efficiency measures to move buildings closer to meeting the state’s Clean Buildings Performance Standard. These awards are funded by the Climate Commitment Act.
All of the awards in this round of funding are to public higher education institutions. The funding will help public colleges and universities across the state reduce their carbon emissions, helping achieve Washington’s climate goals. The 2021 State Energy Strategy states that Washington will limit greenhouse gas emissions to 45% of 1990 levels by 2030, 70% of 1990 levels by 2040, and net zero by 2050.
This includes $1,305,308 to University of Washington, Seattle. Installs efficient fan coil units with temperature control, and revises layout of piping and ductwork to position Anderson Hall for compatibility with the planned campus district heating water system that will move the campus away from fossil fuels.
