CURRENT GHG EMISSIONS AND TARGETS The Plan aims to achieve and exceed the City’s Corporate GHG Reduction Target adopted in 2007, calling for a 20% reduction of GHG emissions below 2002 levels by 2017. The 2013 Corporate GHG Emission Inventory indicates that the City’s emissions were 14,000 tCO2e/yr, (almost equivalent to the 2002 baseline) and thus meeting the 2017 target will require the City to achieve a reduction of 2,800 tCO2e/yr. PROPOSED ACTIONS The Plan proposes to achieve the target through the following actions: 1 BUILDING RETROFITS Building upon its ongoing schedule of facility condition and energy evaluations, it is proposed that the City implement energy efficiency retrofits at many of its most energy intensive facilities.
