DJC Features NECA/IBEW: How the Pacific Northwest is Rethinking the Way It Builds
NECA/IBEW recently shared an article in the Daily Journal of Commerce about how the Pacific Northwest is rethinking the way it builds. Energy efficiency is no longer optional; it is reshaping commercial construction from the ground up. Rising energy costs, sustainability goals, and the push to modernize infrastructure have made energy performance a top priority in design, construction, and operations.
For electricians and contractors, this shift is significant. What used to be optional upgrades are now standard practice in both new construction and retrofit projects. Developers and engineers rely on skilled trades to make these energy-conscious designs a reality. The region’s focus on sustainability continues to grow, and staying ahead of these changes positions you at the forefront of smarter, more efficient building projects.
