Work is currently underway to produce a complete second round of data for the indicators below in the 212 reports (available in 214). In the interim, we are including the same supporting indicator data that was provided in the 27 reports. Feedback is requested on all supporting indicators; please contact us directly at CEEIRPT@gov.bc.ca Housing Type - Private dwellings by structural type Housing type is important for reducing building-related GHG emissions and energy consumption. A trend toward fewer single family dwellings indicates an increase in residential density, which is known to reduce transportation-related GHG emissions Units % Units % Units % Single Detached House 6, , ,25 8 Semi-Detached House Row House Apartment, Duplex Apartment, 5 storeys or higher 2 Apartment, under 5 storeys Other Single Attached House Movable Dwelling Commute to Work - Employed labour force - by mode of commute An increase in the number of people choosing to walk, cycle and use transit reduces GHG emissions.

6 Page 6 of 7 Supporting Indicators Under Consideration Work is currently underway to produce a second round of supporting indicators with new data for the 212 reports (available in 214). These reports will include new data for the five supporting indicators included in the 27 and 21 Reports: Housing Type: Private dwellings by structural type Commute to Work: Employed labour force - by mode of commute Commute Distance Residential Density Parks and Protected Greenspace And in addition, for the 212 reports we are working to be able to include: Proximity to Transit Building Energy Intensity Building Floor Space Waste Diversion We are continuing to work towards reporting on even more supporting indicators in the future including: Proximity to Services (e.g destinations such as grocery store, school, other retail etc.) Transit Ridership Water Use Impervious Surface Cover: % change in impervious surface cover Tree Canopy Cover: % change in tree canopy cover District Energy: # and energy output (e.g. buildings connected, energy consumed in GJ or kwh) of district energy systems by energy type e.g. renewable or non-renewable) On-Site Renewable Energy: # and energy output (in GJ or kwh) from households producing and/or consuming on-site renewable heat (e.g. biomass, solar thermal, geo-exchange) and/or electrical (e.g. solar photovoltaic, small wind, small scale hydro) energy Energy Recovery from waste energy (GJ or kwh) recovered from waste (e.g. from landfill gas, sewage treatment, industrial operations, farm) Please give us feedback by contacting us directly at CEEIRPT@gov.bc.ca Many local governments have been undertaking a significant amount of climate action in both the corporate and community-wide spheres, as demonstrated in both the public reports from the Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program (CARIP) and on the website. These two resources may be helpful to those who are interested in learning from other BC local governments. The toolkit also contains additional information and resources including decision-support/planning frameworks and tools for undertaking actions to reduce GHG emissions and energy consumption.

7 Page 7 of 7 This is your local government s 21 Community Energy and Emissions Inventory (CEEI) Report What is a CEEI Report? CEEI Reports are a result of a multi-agency effort to provide a province-wide solution to assist local governments in BC to track and report on community-wide energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well as supporting indicators every two years. CEEI Reports are one of the many resources available through the Climate Action Toolkit ( a web-based service provided through the ongoing collaboration between UBCM and the Province. The 21 CEEI reports are offered in DRAFT at this time We encourage feedback from our communities across the province as we continue to review the data through the summer of 212. Should you have any questions or concerns, please take the time to contact us directly at CEEIRPT@gov.bc.ca Why does my local government need a CEEI Report? A community energy and GHG emissions inventory can be a valuable tool that helps local governments plan and implement GHG and energy management strategies, while at the same time strengthening broader sustainability planning at the local level. CEEI reports fulfill local governments Climate Action Charter commitment to measure and report their community s GHG emissions profile, establish a base year inventory for local governments to consider as they develop targets, policies, and actions related to BC s Local Government Act requirements, fulfill Milestone One requirements for those local government members of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM s) Partners in Climate Protection (PCP) program, as well as supporting local government efforts to monitor progress towards Regional Growth Strategy objectives. A first in North America! CEEI is a first in North America and a first step for BC communities. The 21 CEEI Reports are based on best available province-wide data. The accuracy and detail of CEEI reports will continue to improve to meet increasing local and provincial government information needs. Improvements have been made from the original draft 27 CEEI Reports posted in Spring 29. These include estimates for residential heating oil, propane and wood use, breaking out small from large industrial buildings, including updated land-use change and new agricultural sectors as memo items.
