41 Building Energy Reporting Disclosure Ordinance Mandated disclosure 1 st reporting year was 2014 for calendar year st reporting year was 2016 for calendar year 2015 Non-residential buildings > 50,000 SF and Set of non-residential buildings on 1 tax parcel id > 100,000 square feet Non-residential buildings > 35,000 SF 1 st reporting year was 2015 for calendar year st reporting year was 2017 for calendar year 2016 Residential buildings > 50,000 SF or 50 units Residential buildings > 35,000 SF or 35 units 42

42 Building Energy Reporting Disclosure Ordinance Mandated disclosure and buildings to complete an energy action or assessment every five years beginning in 2019 Owner or tenant shall be subject to enforcement or penalties for failure to comply with the requirements of this ordinance during the first year of their required compliance set forth in subsection (d). Violations range from $ $ per violation, up to $3,000 per calendar year. 43

52 Discussion What does this tell us for the future programs we need to design? How should Carbon Free Boston be categorizing various owner classes? What strategies will be best driven by incentives, what strategies will be best driven by mandates? How can we leverage limited data on adoption from those existing programs and policies in Boston and in other cities to inform our forecasts and policy design? Neutrality will require a large scale technology transition on existing buildings that has not yet been experienced. How does Carbon Free Boston forecast behavior? What barriers to deep adoption will Boston experience? How can these barriers be overcome? 53
