Key Building Energy Performance Strategies
BE3 Energy Audits for Existing Buildings- Building Energy Asset Rating System (BEARS); gradual implementation
over time.
BE5 Efficient Appliances- Outreach to local appliance retailers to promote EnergyStar qualified
products; provide information on available rebates.
BE6 Renewable Energy Facilitation- Promote renewables for new and existing buildings; permit streamlining.

BE6 Renewable Energy Facilitation
Facilitate the installation of onsite renewable energy through permit streamlining,
installing visible public projects, and education programs.

ImplementationActions 1. Streamline permit process for renewable energy installation.
1. Post information on City website.
1. Perform educational outreach activities.
1. Install a 191.5 kW photovoltaic system to offset the majority of the electrical
consumption at the Community Pool.ResponsibleDepartment Community and Economic Development, Building Division and Planning
Division, Public Works Department, Facility Operations and Programs
Progress Indicatorwith Target & Horizon Number of photovoltaic installations 700 by 2020
Number of solar thermal installations 700 by 2020

Energy Performance StrategiesCostSavings and Success Stories for Businesses
Energy Efficiency Retrofits(EnergyStar)
- EnergyStar appliances can result in energy savings of >25%
Green Building Design (USGBC, Capital E Analysis)- The average cost for LEED building design is slightly < 2%, or $3-5/ft2
additional cost compared to conventional design
- Energy, water, operations and maintenance, plus productivity and healthbenefits = $50-$65/ft2 net benefit over 20 yrs.
Renewable Energy Systems (PG&E)- PG&Es California Solar Initiative (CSI) rebates, plus a 30 percent
federal tax credit and accelerated depreciation, can reduce the systemenergy costs for businesses by >50%.

Key Transportation & Land Use Strategies
TL2 Programs and enforcement for safe activetransportation
- Develop and implement training program to help drivers, cyclists andpedestrians share the road.
TL4 Bicycle Master Plan- Develop citywide bicycle master plan. Grant received from MTC;
project anticipated to begin by January 2014.
TL5 Bike parking installations- Provide secure and convenient bicycle parking at City Hall and other city
employment and services entrances; update Development Code toinclude bike parking.

Key Adaptation Strategies
A4 Cooling centers for heat waves- Work with CCCo Office of Emergency Services to designate and operate
cooling centers during heat waves, and publicize precautions forpreventing heat-related illness.
A6 Flexible peak-period energy use- Work with PG&E to encourage residents and businesses to enroll in
energy Demand Response Programs to avoid higher costs of peak energyuse.
A8 Resilient urban forest
- Keep an up-to-date list of preferred tree species that will thrive in currentclimate and survive in hotter, drier future conditions.
