NEEA’s 2025 Commercial Building Stock Assessment and Webinar

The Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) published the 2025 Commercial Building Stock Assessment (CBSA), a regionally representative assessment of commercial buildings that catalogues characteristics and equipment impacting energy use. The biggest takeaway is clear: Northwest buildings are becoming more energy efficient. New technologies, especially LED lighting and heat pumps, are helping many buildings use less energy while providing the same or better comfort and performance. The full report and database are publicly available. NEEA is also presenting key findings in a public webinar on Thursday, Sept. 10,  from 10:30 a.m. - noon (PDT). Register now to attend. 

Many utilities helped with  introductions to their commercial customers when NEEA encountered recruitment challenges; thank you for your help in this valuable regional study!
