Centennial is thrilled to be Seattle City Light’s partner in updating its historic housing district to be energy efficient. These homes were built for Seattle City Light’s employees in the 1920’s and people have lived in them continuously ever since.
Centennial and Seattle City Light will install energy efficient heat pumps, lighting and water heaters, and additional insulation to maximize energy savings in 34 homes and roughly 24 commercial buildings. The improvements will save 2.5 million kilowatt-hours of electricity each year. That’s enough to power 277 average Seattle homes for a year.
This project is just one example of energy efficiency projects happening all over the country and it’s great when your job contributes to real change. I hope we have many more opportunities to do these types of projects because if an historic home can meet today’s energy standards, can’t any home or building?
