RECOMMENDED <br />RII ACTION STEPS: <br />electrify buildings, <br />weatherize homes, <br />reduce reliance on <br />vehicle travel, support <br />electric vehicles <br />As illustrated in Figure 2, Energy-related emissions from natural gas now <br />surpass those from electricity, due to lower greenhouse gas-emitting energy <br />sources being used for electricity. Travel-related emissions held steady until <br />COVID-19. During the pandemic, there was a rapid increase in isolation <br />which led to a reduction in travel emissions. Meanwhile, SAV’s recycling rate <br />continues to steadily rise. <br /> <br />The RII program provides cities with personalized recommendations for <br />action steps based on GHG data. The action steps presented to SAV include <br />electrifying buildings, weatherizing homes, commissioning commercial <br />buildings, reducing reliance on vehicle travel, and supporting electric vehicles. <br />The initiatives identified in this plan integrate these impactful changes. <br />Figure 2: August 14, 2023 Parks and Environmental Meeting packet, presentation on Regional Indicators Initiative <br />GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS <br />Greenhouse Gas Inventory <br />CLIMATE PLAN 2023 >> 7
