Washington is ready to #BuildElectric! The State Building Codes Council has voted YES on #BuildingElectrification. Building with heat pumps instead of furnaces will make our homes healthier, more efficient, AND less expensive.

The transition to all-electric homes “is going to happen. It’s going to occur,” Mayor Eric Garcetti told me. “Our forests are burning, the days are hotter, our floods are more extreme … Do you want to fight the inevitable, or co-author the necessary?” latimes.com/business/story/2…

Happy Earth Day! The WA Building Code Council just voted to require efficient electric heat pumps for most space and most* water heating in commercial and large multi family buildings. Solar on large commercial and lots of other efficiency too! New construction starting July 2023

Gas heating bills have soared this winter & prices are expected to remain high through the end of the year. To insulate families, the US urgently needs to:
➡️invest in affordable #RenewableEnergy resources
➡️upgrade homes w/ #ElectricHeatPumps

@ShiftZeroWA @aiawa The costs of inaction are high and it's hard to justify the use of gas in new buildings now with electric technologies available, including heat pumps that work in cold weather and that also include cooling benefits in the summer. #electrifynow

Happy to pass a technical fix bill on my C-PACER bill from 2020 session with my amazing Senate partner @SenLizLovelett !
5 Mar 2022
Thank you #WAleg for your bipartisan support of C-PACER! SB 5862 makes a technical fix that will get PACE loans moving immediately in the counties that have adopted programs. Big props to @SenLizLovelett for setting the PACE!

Buildings are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions in our state. SB 5722 would help drive down emissions and reduce energy costs for homes and businesses across WA. #waleg Urge your State Representative to support 5722 today

Today! Contact your #WALeg Senator in support of #HB1770.
WA local govts need tools to make sure new homes are built clean and energy-efficient, to achieve our emission goals, and to protect our communities' health. #Cleanbuildings = #climateleadership
