CITY SCALE FOR ACTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE
Projected: 16
GREENEST CITY FRAMEWORK 3 HIGH-LEVEL OBJECTIVES 10 GOAL AREAS
Climate Leadership 2020 target: reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 33% from 2007 levels Reduce community-based greenhouse gas emissions 33% from 2007 levels -6% (2013)
Vancouver s 2008 GHG Emissions Sources Buildings account for 55% of GHGs in Vancouver 19
Green Building 2020 target: all new construction is carbon neutral improve efficiency of existing buildings by 20% Reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions in existing buildings by 20% over 2007 levels -3% (2013)
TOWARD LOW CARBON CITIES
Imagine a city powered only by renewable energy
Renewable Energy Transition Reduce energy use Increase use of renewable energy o Photovoltaic systems o Solar hot water systems o Small wind turbines o Heat pumps and geo-exchange o Neighbourhood renewable energy systems o Organic waste as an energy resource Increase supply of renewable energy
Toward Zero Emissions Buildings Priorities Reduce building energy demand New buildings to be zero-carbon emissions by 2030 Retrofit existing buildings to perform like new construction Expand existing and develop new neighbourhood renewable energy systems Ensure grid supplied electricity is 100% renewable
