ATTACHMENT 3 Attachment 3- Proposed Goals, Strategies, and Actions August 12, 2021 Buildings & Energy Goal Reduce greenhouse gas emissions from buildings and associated energy consumption and increase buildings and energy resilience which will result in cost savings, improved public health, and improved infrastructure. Existing Ongoing Actions Maintain highest EBCE choice for Maintain the highest renewable energy choice as the default for all municipal facilities, including opportunities to secure Power municipal operations Purchase Agreements with other EBCE jurisdictions. Maintain zero emissions energy as Maintain the default EBCE electricity service to ensure the community is receiving zero -emission energy, if economically feasible. default East Bay Community Energy (EBCE) choice Strategy 1: Advance the decarbonization of buildings. 1001, All -electric reach code Adopt an all -electric building reach code for new construction that limits the development of new gas infrastructure where ! economically feasible. Ensure solutions are equitably tailored to different building, ownership, and use types. This will require a j cost effectiveness evaluation and further outreach. Exceptions to the Code can be considered. 1164 Existing Building Develop and implement an Existing Building Electrification Plan to advance electrification of buildings. As a part of this effort: Electrification Plan Grid Analysis/Improvements • Work with EBCE, PG&E, and regional partners to ensure we have a robust regional electrical grid that minimizes the risk of power outages, increases storage, and reduces demand for diesel or gas generators. Consider opportunities for local renewable generation. • Conduct an existing building electrification analysis to identify areas of opportunities, building types, and prerequisites needed to make electrification cost-effective in the community. Municipal Buildings • Phase implementation of electrification into existing municipal buildings.
