The energy audit must have been conducted within the last five years and must meet the requirements of

ASHRAE Level 2 Energy Survey and Analysis Assessment (or above) per ASHRAE 211-2018 Standard

for Commercial Building Energy Audits or equivalent.

AND/OR

Option 3. Existing Building Commissioning (1 point)

Complete the existing building commissioning (EBCx) process for 10% of the total gross floor area of city occupied buildings that are 25,000 square feet (2,323 square meters) or larger.

The EBCx must have been conducted within the last five years and must meet the requirements of

ASHRAE 230-2022 Commissioning Process for Existing Buildings and Systems .

AND/OR

Option 4. Strategic Decarbonization Plan (1 point)

Develop SDPs for a representative sample of city-occupied buildings. Demonstrate that SDPs collectively

cover 10% of the total gross floor area of city-operated buildings that are 25,000 square feet (2,323

square meters) or larger.

The SDPs must target 100% reduction in on-site combustion emissions and 20% reduction in site energy

use within 25 years.

AND/OR

Option 5. Energy Efficiency (2–3 points)

Demonstrate a reduction in energy use intensity (site energy use or source energy use) of city-occupied

buildings that are 10,000 square feet (929 square meters) or larger. Establish the baseline energy use

based on historical energy consumption from a year within last 10 years. Points are awarded per Table 1.
