Reduce electricity demand by 40% from 2007 to 2025.

STRATEGY 1.2 Fleet conversion to electric vehicles.

STRATEGY 1.1 Increase building energy efficiency (1st Tier buildings). A1.1.1 Perform energy audits on buildings.

STATUS: Initiated

Staff from the OSR, the Equipment Services Division of Financial and Administrative Services Department and the Transportation Department attended the Electrify the South workshop to learn about strategies and resources available to local governments for transitioning their fleets to electric vehicles. Staff from the Environmental Compliance and Support Section of the OSR is currently analyzing the fuel consumption logs for all City vehicles and plans to work with Equipment Services Division to provide information identifying the least efficient vehicles, which will assist with the lease replacement to acquire more fuel-efficient means of transportation.

STATUS: Initiated

The OSR developed a Request for Proposals (RFP) for contractors to provide energy audits and recommendations for energy conservation measures in selected City buildings that are its largest energy consumers. The work will be done in compliance with ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) standards and state and federal requirements. This process will include a team of City representatives including a member from the MWBE office to ensure an equitable process is performed.
