POLICY PRECEDENTS
Local policy implementation should be informed by an analysis of each city’s specific conditions including its building stock, energy use and emissions profiles, future climate conditions, and utility fuel mix and infrastructure, and should apply a climate equity lens after an evaluation of city and community goals for equity and resilience. However, the following policy precedents can provide inspiration and guidance on achieving successful policy implementation:
POLICY FACTORS:
- Existing and anticipated building stock composition (use types, sizes)
- Building energy consumption and emissions profiles
- Utility grid fuel mix and emissions profile
- Future climate conditions
- Community equity and resilience goals
