AI Summary
This bill establishes a method for energy labeling of existing residential buildings in Washington state. It allows cities and counties to require homeowners to obtain and make available a home energy performance report before a single-family residence can be publicly advertised for sale. The report must include information such as the home's energy score, estimated annual energy use and cost, greenhouse gas emissions, and potential efficiency improvements. The bill also requires the Department of Commerce to develop a standardized format for these home energy performance reports by November 30, 2024. The goal is to provide homebuyers with more information about a home's energy efficiency and greenhouse gas impacts, which the legislature believes will help the market better value these factors.
