Decarbonization Strategy California. The City Environmental Department and other stakeholders require building owners to take meaningful action to reduce energy use and GHG emissions for existing buildings.

The reality is that replacing building systems matching original design will not address occupant thermal comfort and air quality complaints, mitigate fire or flood risks, or significantly reduce energy use. Many building owners have asset maintenance and renewal plans for their existing building systems. Condominiums have reserve funds or depreciation reports, commercial owners typically have capital plans based on 5-year or 10-year horizons. Replacing “business as usual” window, cladding or mechanical systems today may achieve modest performance making it more difficult and expensive to reduce energy and GHG consumption when local laws or codes limiting energy or GHG use in existing buildings eventually take effect. 1. 2. 1. 2. 3. 4. 3.
