Community energy efficiency upgrades <br />Emissions reduction 7,500 City Cost $960k <br />Co-benefits Community Cost $2 M saved <br />The City will promote use of energy efficiency improvements (e.g., <br />window upgrades, LED lighting) communitywide through incentives, <br />partnerships, and/or education and outreach, consistent with P16. <br />S3. Energy benchmarking and City facility retrofits <br />Emissions reduction 400 City Cost $3.1 M saved <br />Co-benefits Community Cost $0 <br />The City will use the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy <br />Star Portfolio Manager tool (or other similar tools) to measure and track <br />energy and water usage across City facilities. The City will assess the <br />performance of individual facilities over time, identify opportunities for <br />efficiency upgrades and cost savings across City facilities, and conduct <br />energy retrofits of existing City facilities and equipment. To build local <br />resilience to energy shortages, the City will work with regional partners <br />(e.g., EBCE) to install solar and storage systems on municipal facilities <br />(e.g., parks, library) where they will be the most effective. <br />Strategy BE-3. Expand use of renewable energy <br />Primary Actions <br />P4. Solar and storage on new construction <br />Emissions reduction 2,300 City Cost $0 <br />Co-benefits Community Cost $0 <br />Within the PMC Green Building chapter, the City will require “covered <br />projects” to include solar installation that meets the power needs of the <br />new development if feasible. Where solar is being installed, the covered <br />projects will also be required to install energy storage systems.
