2010 Regional Climate Action Goals Status

Prepare plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the region to 2005 levels by 2012. ●Identify work program priorities for the calendar year. ●Provide technical support to individual local governments for developing greenhouse gas emission inventories (including fact sheets, calculators, and workshops focused on activity data, emission factors, and protocols/methodologies).

◐50% of jurisdictions prepare government and community wide greenhouse gas inventories. ●50% of jurisdictions prepare plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from government operations, including adopting a reduction target. ●Adopt plans to reduce emissions from the aviation sector, including adopting a reduction target. ○Evaluate cost effectiveness of key actions to meet the 2012 goal. ●Develop system for tracking progress toward greenhouse gas reduction goals and periodically review targets. ●Provide progress reports for use by COG in developing annual regional progress report on work plan implementation. ●Prepare annual progress report on meeting the 2012 goal and associated work plan targets. ●Evaluate and propose approach to implementing LEED-ND. ◐Standardize training and certification of energy auditors and home and building energy retrofit and conservation contractors, facilitating reciprocity across the region. ○Prepare a matrix of financing options and recommendations for innovative financing programs for energy efficiency for single and/or multifamily homes. ●Evaluate potential for the Greater Washington Board of Trade “Carbon Cut” program to serve as regional carbon offset program and support funding of energy efficiency investments, renewable ○Prepare report on opportunities to remove barriers to enable utilities to invest in energy conservation. ◐One jurisdiction establishes home energy loan program or other innovative municipal financing program for building retrofits. ●10,000 residential units retrofitted annually to achieve a 5-10 percent energy saving. ●500-1000 residential units retrofitted annually to achieve a 10-30 percent energy saving. ◐250 commercial buildings retrofitted annually to achieve a 5-10 percent energy savings. ●100 commercial buildings retrofitted annually to achieve a 10-30 percent energy savings. ◐Establish partnerships and processes to track home energy retrofits and smart grid implementation. ●
