The wait to curb emissions from Seattle buildings has gone on long enough, climate groups say. The Seattle City Council is considering Building Emissions Performance Standards , which would require the city's biggest buildings to cut their climate pollution completely by 2045. Apartments would have a 2050 deadline. Jess Wallach, campaigns co-director for 350 Seattle , said buildings are the second largest source of carbon emissions in the city, but this policy has been delayed and watered down over the past two years.
