Our biggest finding is that we have public partners. The Energy Action reduced building energy use by 12.2%, Plan is a 5-year plan that puts the nearly double our original five year goal. district on track to reach its energy 2016 Achievements Together, we have also developed goals as outlined in the Lloyd 250,000 square feet of solar EcoDistrict Roadmap. photovoltaics, and constructed new buildings that use 30% less energy. 12.2% Reduction Goal and Focus Areas in Building Energy Progress is made more quickly when goals Lloyd EcoDistrict established the Use are set and monitored, which is why the ambitious goal for no net increase district has undertaken the massive in energy use, despite future endeavor of tracking energy use for 87% development of the district being of buildings over 20,000 square feet. expected to double over the next 25 250,000 square years. feet of solar All of this hard work among so many photovoltaics committed stakeholders has produced To reach this goal, actions were excellent results towards meeting our developed around the following main energy goals. The district has emerged as focus areas: a leader for energy efficiency within the • Existing buildings, New Buildings region. Energy Star scores are 13% higher • New construction that use up to in Lloyd District than in the overall city. • Renewable energy 30% less energy We still have more to do, but the district • District energy should celebrate this success and stay • EcoDistrict catalyzers. motivated to continue this positive momentum.
