Clean Buildings compliance success story: Puyallup School District
This week's CBPS Success Story comes from Jenna Davidson of McKinstry and the Puyallup School District who shared that "Early action delivered results for Puyallup School District under
the Clean Buildings Performance Standard."
Puyallup School District (PSD) didn't wait for the deadline, and it paid off. They engaged early with McKinstry who help guide them to bring 22 of 34 school buildings are now fully compliant
under Washington State's Clean Buildings Performance Standard (CBPS) so far.
"This demonstrates the impact of proactive planning and early action." Jenna mentioned
What sets Puyallup School District apart is not simply early compliance, but early decision-making. District leaders anticipated the opportunity and acted ahead of the deadline, strategically
submitting all 15 Tier 2 buildings for compliance a full year early. This approach positions the school district to access Tier 2 Early Adopter Incentive funding. As a result, the district
could receive up to $180,000 in incentive funding if fully approved. This approach may help the district offset compliance-related costs through available incentive funding.
Much of the district's success in compliance is a culture of partnership. Through participation in Puget Sound Energy and Tacoma Power’s Commercial Energy Management programs, the district
has built a collaborative relationship with its utility partners. These programs allow the district to leverage technical support and incentives to drive efficiency improvements across
its facilities. Their experience highlights how utility partnerships can support long-term energy management and compliance efforts.
The school district partnered with McKinstry's PowerED program, a behavior-based energy management approach that combines low- and no-cost operational strategies and ongoing performance
tracking which systematically implemented energy efficiency measures across the entire district. They believe the program was able to successfully steer their buildings away from some
of the the more expensive compliance pathways and into compliance through active energy management over time.
Strong partnerships along with working very intentionally, the Puyallup School District became well-positioned to identify and capture incentives and grant funding opportunities as they
became available. In 2025, the district was awarded nearly $600,000 from the Department of Commerce for ASHRAE audits at eight of their schools. They are well on their way to full portfolio
compliance and actively preparing for submission of the remaining sites. The initial success reflects the district's commitment to responsible stewardship of both its facilities and
its resources.
"Aligning long-range planning with available compliance pathways, Puyallup School District shows how K–12 institutions can address Washington’s Clean Buildings Performance Standard in
a clear and manageable way." Jenna told us
Thank you for sharing your story with us, Jenna!
