Eugene Climate Plan 2010 Mock-Up/Sector 8 - Local Government Operations
From Eugene Neighbors
This working page is part of the Eugene Climate Planning project, an independent pubic interest consulting project intended to provide background technical analysis in support of the official Eugene Climate and Energy Action Plan (CEAP) project. Comments are appreciated — please log in and use the "discussion" tab.
This is part of an expanded technical version of a mock-up carbon budget constructed from broadly accepted mainstream numbers, using a minimum of assumptions. The carbon budget starts with the official City of Eugene greenhouse gas emissions inventory of 2007, and factors in official population projections, with levels simply adjusted to meet the State of Oregon adopted emissions reduction targets.
As well as providing a concrete reference projection of mainstream climate planning targets, this carbon budget may also help illuminate the linear implications of basic facts and choices already made and acknowledged by state and local elected officials.

[edit] Sector 8 - Local Government Operations
[edit] O-16. Reduce carbon emissions from City and County operations 50 percent from 1990 levels.
- A-16.1 - Issue capital improvement bonds or identify other funding sources to finance energy-efficiency upgrades in City and County facilities.
- A-16.2 - Require that all new City and County buildings achieve Architecture 20303 performance targets.
- A-16.3 - Convert street lighting, water pumps, water treatment and other energy intensive operations to more efficient technologies.
- A-16.4 - Adopt and implement green building policies that include third-party certification of energy, water and waste conservation strategies.
- A-16.5 - Purchase or generate 100 percent of all electricity required for City and County operations from renewable sources, with at least 15 percent from on-site or district renewable energy sources such as solar and biogas.
- A-16.6 - Require that local government fleets, regulated fleets (e.g., taxis and waste/recycling haulers), and the fleets of local government contractors meet minimum fleet fuel efficiency standards and use low-carbon fuels.
- A-16.7 - Buy electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles for City and County fleets as they become commercially available.
- A-16.8 - Recover 85 percent of all waste generated in City and County operations.
- A-16.9 - In City and County purchasing decisions, consider carbon emissions from the production, transportation, use and disposal of goods as a criterion.
