Climate and Energy Action Plan (CEAP)

Phase II Actions The following forty actions were identified as Phase II priority actions. Priority actions that were not identified as Phase I were assigned as Phase II. Scope Type Buildings and Energy Strategy BE-2. Encourage increased building energy efficiency and conservation. BE-2-2. Require building energy scores to identify and incentivize cost-effective energy efficiency improvements. CMi Ad BE-2-3. Identify and adopt strategies to reduce energy efficiency barriers in rent/lease properties. CMi Ad BE-2-4. Establish minimum energy efficiency standards for the affordable housing program. CMi Ad Strategy BE-4. Improve demand management. BE-4-1. Expand the current net meter resolution to include and incorporate virtual net metering. C Mi BE-4-2. Implement utility-level smart grid technologies to facilitate efficiency and distributed energy solutions. C Mi Strategy BE-5. Prepare and adapt buildings for a changing climate. BE-5-1. Encourage heat-tolerant building approaches such as cool roofs and passive cooling. C Ad Urban Form, Land Use & Transportation Strategy UL T-1. Support better public transit and ridesharing. UL T-1-1. Coordinate with neighboring local governments to promote use of transit, carpooling, and car-sharing. C Mi UL T-1-3. Establish policies to support development near transit hubs without displacing disadvantaged populations. C Mi UL T-1-4. Evaluate the feasibility of expanded local transit options. M Mi Strategy UL T-3. Support more-efficient vehicles. UL T-3-1. Implement a local fuel-related tax. C Mi Strategy UL T-4. Support more climate-ready development and land use. UL T-4-2. Further revise community development plans to favor walkable neighborhoods and infill density. C Mi UL T-4-3. Modify the WUI code to include construction techniques appropriate for wildfire-prone areas. C Ad Strategy UL T-5. Increase the efficiency of City fleet vehicles and employee commuting. UL T-5-1. Provide carpool and vanpool parking, charging stations, and parking for EVs for City employees. M Mi UL T-5-2. Conduct a city fleet audit and use it to set policy and targets. M Mi UL T-5-3. Develop policy to require the purchase of verified carbon offsets to offset City staff travel. M Mi Consumption and Materials Management Strategy CM-1. Reduce consumption of carbon-intensive goods and services. CM-1-1. Implement an education campaign for waste and consumption reduction strategies. C Mi CM-1-2. Support “collaborative consumption” community projects. C Mi CM-1-3. Determine and implement effective ways to reduce and track consumption based emissions.
