Sustainability and Energy Action Plan

BUILDINGS AND ENERGY GRANTS PASS SUSTAINABILITY AND ENERGY ACTION PLAN efficiency. Operators need to be able to not only inform design for this purpose, but also be able to learn about the facility’s design from this process so that they are able to operate it as intended to maximize energy savings . BE-5-9. Design Pumping Systems for Energy Efficiency Given their high energy consumption,50 optimizing the energy efficiency of all pumping should be factored into new facilities and/or infrastructure that require this kind of equipment .BE-5-10. Adopt Natural Hazard Resiliency Standards for New Energy Infrastructure As a major goal of this Plan is to achieve resiliency in power sourcing, it is important that we also ensure that new systems for energy infrastructure can accomplish their intended purposes, even during natural disasters. This means that charging systems, solar installations, and other such infrastructure discussed in this Plan must be installed with consideration for their ability to survive natural disaster events. Ease in repairing these systems must also be considered . 50
