May 14, 2026

The Clean Energy Transition Institute (CETI) and 2050 Institute are excited to share our SCALE 2030: Clean Buildings Roadmap for Washington (the Roadmap).

The Roadmap charts a path for transforming Washington's building sector in keeping with the state's ambitious climate and clean energy goals, positioning buildings as strategic assets for the grid and Washington’s economic vitality. 

The Roadmap focuses on structural changes and strategic investments the state can make in the next five years to create the regulations and market conditions needed to deliver a clean buildings transition by 2050.

The Roadmap lives on a brand-new SCALE 2030 website, which also features information about the SCALE 2030 project and the Ecosystem Assessment and Transition Framework papers published in May 2025.

Want to learn more? Join us for a webinar on June 2, 2026 from 2-3pm PST during which CETI Research Analyst Jeanne Currie and 2050 Institute Founder Poppy Storm will walk through the levers and actions that the Roadmap identifies as critical to scaling building decarbonization in Washington.

This webinar is for policymakers, advocates, regulators, utilities, program managers, service providers, building owners and tenants, and anyone interested in how Washington can use clean buildings to save energy and money, respond to grid stress, ensure healthy indoor environments for Washingtonians, and advance the state's economy.

Register for the SCALE 2030 Roadmap Webinar

We hope to see you there.
