Climate and Energy Action Plan (CEAP)

APPENDIX C: PUBLIC I NPUT SURVEY RESULTS Ashland Climate and Energy Action Plan: Open House #2 Page | 21 Buildings & Energy The figure below shows the average respondent ran king of each of the strategies ( 1 indicates the lowest priority, while 6 indicates the highest priority): Comments included:  All of these strategies are important  Can methane from waste be converted into a usable energy source?  Is there clean electricity? Reduction of energy use should come first. Many offices (city and other) have lights on all day. There are many ways we could reduce consumption .  Money saved through demand management could be invested in local renewable wind and solar .  “Maximize efficiency of City buildings, facilities, etc” – A no -brainer.  Developing distributed energy (I.e. Rooftop residential) should be part of increased reliability . 0 2 4 6Support cleaner energy sources Improve demand management Encourage increased commercial and residential building energy efficiency Maximize efficiency of City buildings, facilities, and other energy-intensive equipment and operations Enhance energy reliability Adapt buildings to a changing climate Average Score (1 is highest, 6 is lowest priority)
