The remaining tasks needed to complete the plan include the following: • Develop and accept actions for the transportation/land use, government operations, agriculture, natural areas, solid waste, renewable energy generation, and climate adaptation/resilience sectors. • Once the actions are accepted, assess equity impacts using the State Equity Tool and examples from the Montgomery County Plan. • At the same time, develop a GHG Inventory for Year 2019, Establish a business-as-usual scenario and a scenario to meet the science-based targets customized to South Burlington • Hold a public engagement process for the draft actions to obtain public input. Revise actions to address public comments. • Develop a final deliverable plan Equity The CAPTF’s mission includes language asking for the Climate Action Plan to include equity in its process. The charter states that “Given the policy role in advising the Council, a commitment to principles of equity and inclusion are paramount.” Therefore, CCRPC Staff recommends using the Vermont Climate Council’s Guiding Principles for a Just Transition to assess the equity implications of the proposed climate action plan actions. Each action will be scored low, medium, and high according to the scoring rubric contained in this tool. Each action that scores low or medium will also be associated with a description of equity considerations to be explored further in the implementation plan. Public Engagement Public engagement is planned to start in June once the CAPTF has accepted the full list of actions with associated equity scoring and the revised science-based targets are available. City Staff is leading this effort with CCRPC support. The outreach will target organizations that represent impacted communities to solicit feedback from renters, low-income residents, seniors, and other underrepresented communities. These organizations include Cathedral Square and 110 West Canal Street, Suite 202 Winooski, Vermont 05404-2109 802-846-4490 www.ccrpcvt.org 2 Champlain Housing Trust. A specific agency to work on behalf of renters is yet to be identified. Communication on front porch forum, the city newsletter and library should also be used to ensure broad community reach. City staff is intending to utilize google forms to create the survey tool for obtaining public feedback. Final Deliverable Product The CAPTF has researched and reviewed many Climate Action Plans from cities large and small across the United States. There seems to be consensus from CAPTF members that the Montgomery County Plan is a model for the City’s Climate Action Plan. If the CAPTF agrees, CCRPC will use components of the Montgomery Plan as a model for developing the principal plan phase of this project. Sections of the Montgomery Plan are more specific than the scope of CCRPC’s project for developing the principal plan. For example, CCRPC will not be able to develop a long narrative for each action. This work can take place when the city engages with a consultant to develop implementation plans specific to each sector. Working Groups The CAPTF discussed establishing potential future working groups to review sectors in more detail. A working group of Srini, Donna, and Andrew met on April 1 to harmonize the actions between the old and new worksheets for the buildings/thermal sector. Melanie and Ann provided staffing support for this meeting. This worked well. Going forward, working groups could meet prior to a scheduled CAPTF meeting to review the sector being discussed at an upcoming CAPTF meeting. The revisions made in the working group will be reflected in the packet. Working group meetings will be limited to 1 hour. The CAPTF should discuss scheduling these working group meetings at the April 14th meeting.

Establish a policy to ensure existing building electricfiation retrofts are paired with energy storage and rooftop solar generation and storage CAPTF to determine if this fits in the B1. pathway and if a metric to measure progress is needed. Efficiency VT provides RPC with a report of energy efficiency measures annually so data is avaiable to the CIty. CAPTF to determine if an action regarding rooftop solar and storage for existing buidlings fits here or in renewable energy generation. The net zero energy code for new buidlings should include this for new buidlings so a separate action is not needed for new builds. B-3: Net Zero for New Infrastructure Last updated April 5, 2021. ClearPath Reference Sheet – Default Carbon Intensity Factors On-Road Transportation Changes in the carbon intensity for each mile driven are expected to decrease due to mandated improvements in vehicle fuel economy. When forecasting emissions from on-road transportation, it is important to consider all the relevant external changes that may be occurring to the particular records you are forecasting. Changes in passenger cars, light truck, medium, and heavy-duty truck1 fuel economy are expected as a result of Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. When forecasting emissions from the transportation sector, changes to fuel economy can be accounted for by applying a “Carbon Intensity Factor.” While compliant inventories include all on-road passenger and freight vehicle traffic, they often differ in the way data is entered. Because of this, Carbon Intensity Factors should be applied depending on how On-Road Transportation data is entered. If the On-Road Transportation data entered does not separate passenger cars/light trucks from medium/heavy-duty trucks, the following Carbon Intensity Factors should be applied. If the On-Road Transportation data does separate passenger cars/light trucks from medium/heavy-duty trucks, the following Carbon Intensity Factors should be applied to passenger cars/light trucks, and no carbon intensity factors should be applied to medium/heavy-duty trucks. Forecast Period Passenger Vehicle/Light-Duty Truck Carbon Intensity Factors 2010-2014 -0.018 2015-2019 -0.018 2020-2024 -0.018 2025-2029 -0.018 2030-2034 -0.018 2035-2039 -0.018 2040-2044 -0.018 2045-2049 -0.018 The values in this table were developed from fuel efficiency projections provided by the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES). These values represent the impact of the CAFE standards for the years 2010-2050. The impact calculated is presented in terms of relative change and thus should be reasonably applicable to any inventory starting point. Procedure Followed for Developing CAFE Standards Default Carbon Intensity Factors Using the following assumptions: ● 27.52 mpg fleet average in 2010 ● 46.7 mpg fleet average for 2025 new model year vehicles 1 Although CAFE standards apply to medium/heavy-duty trucks, the provided Carbon Intensity Factors are based on passenger cars and light-duty trucks because limited analysis of the fleetwide impact have been performed. 2 The test procedure for CAFE standards is different than that used for MPG of vehicles in actual driving conditions. Thus, while 2010 MPG is 27.5, the actual average is approximately 20. ● 46.73 mpg for on-road fleet achieved in 2040 (15 years for fleet to turn over) Miles per Gallon fleet averages were converted to Gallons per Mile. Values were then utilized to calculate a Compound Annual Growth Rate from 2010 to 2040. Values were carried forward to 2050. Grid Electricity Because growth rates for the decreasing carbon intensity of grid electricity vary by state and utility, it is challenging to produce country-wide defaults. However, we recommend engaging with your utility because they may be able to provide data on their planned changes in emissions intensity per kWh, or on planned changes in generation mix. If this data is not available, look at state policies such as renewable portfolio standards (RPS). Some state regulatory agencies may have published projections for how regulations will affect emissions intensity; in other cases, you will need to make some assumptions about changes to fuel mix. Once data is acquired, please refer to the Developing a Business as Usual Forecast section of the ClearPath User Guide for directions on calculating a growth rate for the decreasing carbon intensity of grid electricity. The guidance also provides directions on utilizing the data within the Forecast module in ClearPath. 3 We do not expect an actual 2040 average MPG of 46.7, but the percent improvement from 27.5 MPG to 46.7 MPG should be the same as the actual percent improvement.
