What We Have Done & What We Do
NWCSI was born in 2009, out of concern for our long-term energy future, rising sea levels, worsening weather, and responsible stewardship of the Earth. During the past decade, NWCSI’s energy efficiency project has resulted in energy audits and efficiency upgrades for over 2500 homes and businesses, providing energy savings and carbon emissions benefits to owners, occupants and the public. NWCSI’s Educational Programs have fostered deeper understanding of risks to long-term energy and food supplies, as well as the global climate. NWCSI’s work with the City of Seattle’s Energy Benchmarking Program helped businesses and multi-family housing projects become more energy efficient.
At present, NWCSI is putting its skills into an ambitious program: assisting organizations and households to take affordable, effective steps to reduce climate risk. Whether that risk is from sea level rise, weather-related damage, supply chain problems, or other issues, NWCSI can provide assistance. We assist our members to figure out how to develop resilience, in the face of fast-paced change.
NWCSI works with business leaders to enhance leadership and strategic approaches to risk and resilience.
In short, we work with all kinds of organizations and households to help create a sustainable future.
