Retrofitting Large- and Medium- Sized Existing Buildings and Producing and Purchasing Renewable Energy to Power their Operations

Retrofitting large- and medium- sized existing buildings and producing and purchasing renewable energy to power their operations is key to reach this carbon neutrality goal. The fifth building strategy in the City’s Climate Action Plan is to develop a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions performance standard to decarbonize large- and medium-sized buildings. As stated in the Climate Action Plan, such a standard “will require that all buildings larger than a certain threshold meet fixed carbon targets that decrease over time. Performance standards specific to different building typologies will ensure that buildings make steady progress on emissions reductions, while allowing building owners to develop solutions that are cost-effective and appropriate for the building’s use.
