Incentives and Assistance

There are many incentives for building green today. Some of these are code or tax-based, and others are cash paid for energy and water conservation. Last we checked, a web search for “green building” yielded over 12 million hits. That’s a lot of information, and while it's wonderful to have so much more available than just a few years ago, it can be overwhelming. Our Resources section can direct you to a lot of good data.

Follow the links below to the type of work you do to learn more about resources and incentive programs:

• Residential - homeowners & single family
• Multifamily - apartments, townhomes, condominiums
• Commercial - industrial, institutional & highrise residential
• City Projects - City of Seattle facilities
• Sustainable Communities - urban design and neighborhood planning

Consideration of green options is critical during early design programming and planning, so don’t delay.
