Apart of the revision team for the Single-Family Checklist update, that was last updated in 2007. This checklist update was intended to updated/remove credits and also in compliance to the 2018 Washington State Energy Code (WSEC). We also updated the energy section of the Multi-Family Checklist to coincide with the 2018WSEC. Researched competitors to compare Built Green’s Checklist to theirs, to see how we can improve our organization Updated Built Green’s Environmental Calculations by extracting data in the system from previous projects. Pulled data from local and national sources to compare the average home to a Built Green home. These calculations showcased environmental and monetary savings.

This Survey was intended to determine Pierce County’s market for sustainable, high-performance homes compared to national survey reports. These results helped Built Green with outreach events in the area.
