Little background: Sustainable Works is a non-profit focused on creating quality jobs and improving the environment with residential and small commercial energy retrofit projects facilitated through community engagement and participation. Sustainable Works utilizes a $4 million Community Energy Efficiency Program Grant to retrofit up to 2,000 homes and small businesses in moderate-income neighborhoods in Spokane, Pierce, King, and Snohomish counties over the next 2 years. This activity should produce approximately 120 full-time jobs and $12 million in retrofit work, as well as reduce carbon emissions by 3,000 tons.

The process begins with a pre-audit to determine eligibility followed by a professional energy audit. An energy consultant then explains to the homeowner where they are losing energy and suggests the most cost effective energy saving improvements. Sustainable Works then completes the energy saving measures chosen by the homeowner. They offer bulk bundling prices and utility incentives to lower the project cost. Zero to low-interest financing is also available to help homeowners afford their projects.
