Clean Buildings Compliance Support

The Washington State Department of Commerce is seeking applications for grant funding to support building owners in meeting the Clean Buildings Performance Standard (CBPS). The funding will support four separate programs: Clean Buildings Performance Grants, Energy Audits for Public Buildings, Energy Retrofits for Public Buildings, and State Project Improvements. The programs aim to help building owners reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The grant funding will be used to support activities such as benchmarking, energy audits, and retrofits. The application period is from December 2, 2025, to April 2, 2026. • The Clean Buildings Performance Grants program will provide funding for reporting requirements related to CBPS compliance, including benchmarking and energy management plans. • The Energy Audits for Public Buildings program will provide funding for energy audits for publicly owned buildings. • The Energy Retrofits for Public Buildings program will provide funding for building retrofit projects for publicly owned buildings. • The State Project Improvements program will provide funding for improvements to minor works, stand-alone, or emergency projects at facilities owned by state agencies.
