Bellwether Housing

The Seattle affordable housing provider Bellwether cut its energy use at one of its properties, Mercer Court on Capitol Hill, by 40 percent and has joined the Seattle 2030 District, a public-private group that wants to create a high-performance building district downtown. Bellwether used the free online Energy Star Portfolio Manager to measure energy use in its 29 buildings, and found utility costs at the 24-unit Mercer Court were high. The Enterprise Green Retrofit Program and Ecotope helped with an energy audit and other changes that cut annual energy and water costs by $10,000.
