Let’s take a closer look… (Option with no PV)
Gas doesn’t
decarbonize with
the grid
and
Concrete is the
largest overall %

What if our RATE of decarbonization changes?

Incentivizes large-scale and
micro-grid renewable supply.
Off-site generation allowed for
Premium Tier.
Does not penalize commercial, tall, shaded
or urban infill projects with no site
generation capacity.

Summary thoughts and conclusions…
❏ We must incorporate EMBODIED CARBON into our code asap
❏ We must look at embodied carbon WITH operational energy
❏ We must review PV & Storage very carefully… (before making more mandatory)
❏ We still have headroom to improve our first renewable: EFFICIENCY FIRST
