Climate Action Plan requirement

Submitted by VBaxter on February 3, 2011 - 2:27pm.
1) My organization does not have one plan or policy that directly addresses each of your 10 best practice areas. We do feel that we address each area through multiple plans and policies. Will the submission of multiple plans and policies fulfill your requirement for a Climate Action Plan that includes actions in each best practice area? 2) What will you require to demonstate the award requirements? For example, to demonstrate AB939 compliance, to demonstrate the level of energy or GHG reductions, and to demonstrate specified activities.

Climate Action Plan requirement & reporting

Submitted by lbuckley on February 8, 2011 - 3:48pm.
Thank you for your questions. 1) Many agencies have gone about their planning in interesting and innovative ways so we are willing to consider variations of a typical climate action plan in order to satisfy the requirement. Feel free to contact ILG staff at BeaconAward@ca-ilg.org with any specific questions. 2) Copies of plans and inventories will be requested once an application has been received. Documentation is not required to demonstrate AB 939 compliance. In order to receive an award, the agency must produce energy efficiency data (available through your utility) to demonstrate savings achieved. Greenhouse gas reductions can be demonstrated through an updated greenhouse gas emissions inventory.
