April 18 Council Meeting
The April 18 Council meeting has encountered technical difficulties preventing Council Members and the public from accessing the meeting online. A suitable alternative platform has not been identified. Quorum of the meeting cannot be established. The meeting therefor will be adjourned to April 25, 2025 at 10:00 in accordance with RCW 42.30.090.
I-2066 Compliance
There has been confusion over the WA energy codes and the passage of I-2066, and how the codes should be enforced. The Council has debated this at length and heard from the public. There are numerous laws that require the WA energy codes to meet certain requirements, including increasing energy efficiency, meeting requirements for cost, a public process, and the I-2066 initiative. The Council is investigating any changes necessary, if needed to bring the codes into compliance with the requirements under I-2066 and all other relevant laws. Until such time as the Council adopts any changes, the current 2021 codes will remain in place.

The Council is accepting code change proposals for the following:
2021 Washington State Energy Code-Commercial. The submittal period for I-2066 compliance amendments is open February 10, 2025 through 5 p.m. on April 7, 2025.
