BE 7: Achieve 25% government building thermal “fuel switching" from on-site fossil fuel combustion to electrification by 2030.   

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BE7-1 Conduct, or hire a consultant to conduct an "Electrification Assessment and Action Plan" to outline actions and priorities for electrification of all local government owne​d facilities to move towards zero on-site fossil fuel combustion to meet or exceed 25% fuel switching by 2030. Work with regional energy partnerships to implement plan for all facilities. Include new and existing buildings, explore strategies to address electricity storage, and create a case study to highlight and share challenges, solutions, and lessons learned to share with the broader community.

BE7-2 Support the establishment of a Green Buildings Policy​ to phase out on-site fossil fuel combustion and incentivize all new local government or publicly owned buildings to be 100% electric by 2027.
