Journal Construction Editor

King County Executive Dow Constantine yesterday unveiled a proposal for stronger building codes in unincorporated King County to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve indoor air quality.

“The built environment is responsible for nearly a quarter of emissions in King County,” Constantine said in a news release. “Strong building and energy codes are a key component of the county's comprehensive climate strategy.
