Buildings & Energy | 37Pleasanton Climate Action Plan 2.0 Strategy BE-1. Advance the decarbonization of buildings Existing Ongoing Actions E1. Maintain zero-emissions energy as the default EBCE choice for municipal operations Emissions reduction 2,200 City Cost N/A Co-benefits Community Cost N/A The City commits to maintain the highest renewable energy choice as the default for all municipal facilities, including opportunities to secure Power Purchase Agreements with other EBCE jurisdictions. E2. Maintain zero-emissions energy as the default EBCE choice for the community Emissions reduction 255,700 City Cost N/A Co-benefits Community Cost N/A The City commits to maintain the highest renewable energy choice as the default for the community. Primary Actions P1. All-electric reach code for new construction Emissions reduction 10,100 City Cost $49k Co-benefits Community Cost ($2.7M) The City will adopt an all-electric building reach code for new construction that limits the development of new gas infrastructure where economically feasible. The City will ensure solutions are equitably tailored to different building, ownership, and use types, which will require a cost-effectiveness evaluation and further outreach Exceptions to the code will be considered. P2. Existing Building Electrification Plan Emissions reduction 16,500 City Cost $138k Co-benefits Community Cost $137k The City will develop and implement an Existing Building Electrification Plan to advance electrification of buildings. This plan will be phased in over time to allow property owners time to adjust and plan for the transition. With this effort, the following should also be considered: Grid Analysis/Improvements • Work with EBCE, PG&E, and regional partners to ensure a robust regional electrical grid that minimizes the risk of power outages, increases storage, and reduces demand for diesel or gas generators. Partnerships should consider opportunities for local renewable generation and storage, consistent with Strategy BE-3. • Conduct an existing building electrification analysis to identify areas of opportunities, building types, and prerequisites needed to make electrification cost-effective in the community. • Consider feasibility for neighborhood microgrids (e.g., neighborhood solar and battery storage) to enhance grid resilience. Municipal and Public Buildings • Phase implementation of electrification into existing municipal buildings, consistent with Action S3. • Partner with the school district to phase implementation of electrification into school buildings.
