New York State Public Service The New York State Climate Smart Communities Pledge 1. Pledge to Combat Climate Change by Becoming a Climate Smart Community Set goals to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG} emissions and adapt to predicted climatic changes. Establish a task force. Designate a point persom Join a national climate campaign such as ICLB (International Council for Local Environmental mitiatives)-Loca~ Governments for Sustainability (http://www.icleiusa.org/). 2. Set Goals, Inventory Emissions, Move to Action Gather data about local GHG emission sources. Inventory emissions, establish baselines. Develop quantifiable interim GHG emission targets. Propose emission-reduction schedule and financing strategy. Develop a local action plan for reducing emissions. 3. Decrease Energy Demand for Local Government Operations Adopt a goal of reducing electricity use by 15 percent from projected levels no later than 2015. Include new and existing public facilities, community infrastructure, vehicle fleet and commuting. Improve waste management in government operations. Encourage Renewable Energy for Local Government Operations Set a goat to maximize the use of public energy generated from renewable sources (e.g., solar, wind, small hydro). Realize Benefits of Recycling and Other Climate Smart Solid Waste Management Practices Promote reuse; ensure access to comprehensive recycling. Adopt a green purchasing program. 6. Promote Climate Protection through Community Land-use Tools Keep development Iow in carbon intensity and resilient to climatic change. Update land-use policies, building codes and community plans in ways that reduce sprawl, minimize development in floodplains and protect forests. 7. Plan for Adaptation to Unavoidable Climate Change Identify risks to government facilities and functions (e.g., water supply, sewers), and factor into long-term investments and decision- making. Develop a climate adaptation plan, giving priority to the most vulnerable areas. 8. Support a Green Innovation Economy Incorporate climate protection and sustainabili~ into economic development plans. Encourage workforce training and public education for energy efficiency and renewable energy. 9. Inform and Inspire the Public Lead by example. Publicize local government commitment to reducing energy use, saving tax dollars and adapting to changing conditions. Encourage citizens to follow suit. 10. Commit to an Evolving Process Be willing to consider new ideas and adapt existing approaches. Compare successes, and work cooperatively with neighboring communities. New York State Climate Smart Communities is a program of the state departments of Environmental Conservation, State, and Transportation; Energy Research and Development Authority; and Public Service Commission. New York State Public Service NEW YORK COMMUNITIES: GET CLIMATE SMART I Why is the Climate Smart Communities Pled§e important? · Communities control or strongly influence key emission-reduction and climate-adaptation factors such as building and fleet efficiency and land-use planning. · Any New York city, town, village or county can take a stand on protecting the climate. · An emissions inventory and local climate-action planning define the best strategies for each community. · Local efficiency and renewables projects often return their cost in long-term savings of taxpayer dollars. · Making everyone part of the effort boosts energy and emission savings. · The voluntary Climate Smart Community Pledge emphasizes important areas of local climate action, while enabling each community to choose the activities that suit it best. I Can a community get help fulfilling the Pled§e? · Assistance and guidance are available for community emission inventories, climate planning and energy- saving projects, http://www, dec. ny. gov/energy/$O845, html · Climate Smart CommuniW Coordinators provide technical support and guidance for greenhouse gas inventories and projects to reduce emissions and adapt to effects of climate change. · The Climate Smart Communities listserv and webinar series notify municipalities of funding and educational opportunities. · NYSERDA's Energy Smart community Coordinators can help communities identify funding and technical support for emissions inventories, planning and energy-saving projects, http://www, nyserdo, ny. gov can my community be climate smart? · Adopt the model Climate Smart Communities Pledge (some communities add their own legislative findings or pledge elements). · Inform DECthat your community has adopted the pledge by mailing a certified copy of the resolution to the Office of Climate Change, NYS DEC, 625 Broadway, Albany, NY. 12233-1030. NEW YORK STATE CLIMATE SMART COMMUNITIES Plan for Climate Change - Infrastructure Adaptation and Mitigation Critical Infrastructure Wastewater treatment plants, pump stations collection systems · Drinking water wells and pumping stations · Electrical generating stations and substations, transmission systems; fuel depots · Phone, cable, Internet equipment · Emergency access roadways, bridges, dams · Shore protection systems Critical Facilities · Fire, police, ambulance stations · Municipal offices, public works yards · Hospitals and nursing homes Other Vulnerabilities · Street trees · Street lighting · Historic, cultural landmarks Issues - Flood and wind damage from more intense and frequent storms, sea level rise, storm surge. Challenges - Aging infrastructure has not been upgraded, may be inadequate, and is more prone to failure. Infrastructure may be in vulnerable locations and elevations. NYSERDA-Funded Assistance - Storm surge and flood mapping is available to help you identify vulnerable infrastructure. Guidance is available for adaptation and mitigation planning strategies such as · Relocation or elevation of facilities where feasible · Emphasis on redundancy, backup power, and communication systems · Smaller scale, more locally-based · Computer integration to monitor health of systems · Technology to overcome poor location and system deficiencies · Berms, seawalls, watertight enclosures, sealed subsurface protection · Elevation of building mechanical and electrical systems · Elevation or relocation of pump stations, generators, fuel tanks · Protection, armoring, or replacement of vulnerable sewer, power, and water lines New York State Climate Smart Communities is a program o.f the state departments of Environmental Conservation, State, and Transportation; Energy Research and Development Authority; and Public Service Commission. New York State Public Service NEW YORK STATE CLIMATE SMART COMMUNITIES Decrease Energy Consumption by Local Government Operations NYSERDA-FUNDED GUIDANCE AND ASSISTANCE Energy Audit - Basic building audits, not available from area utilities, can be provided for priority buildings to assess current energy consuming systems and propose energy saving options. Energy Audit Report / Project Proposal Review - Completed audit reports or project proposals from a utility, an ESCO, or other contractor can be reviewed and evaluated. Utility Rate Review - Utility energy billing can be reviewed with a focus on savings. Suggestions on record keeping for benchmarking can also be provided. Retro Commissioning - A 'retro-commissioning plan' can ensure that buildings operate as efficiently as possible under their current use and occupancy conditions. A 'Testing, Adjusting & Balancing' approach can sometimes yield enhanced occupant comfort (and productivity) with less energy usage. Recommendations for either can be made and plans by others evaluated. Equipment Evaluation - Mechanical equipment and large energy consuming systems such as street lighting can be evaluated and alternatives proposed. Fleet Evaluations - Guidance is available for the selection of ener§y-efficient vehicles including CNG, hybrid, and electric cars, vans, and trucks. Grant funding and other incentives may be available. Renewable Energy - Solar, geothermal, and wind energy systems can help lower municipal energy bills. Guidance is available for their selection as well as possible funding opportunities.
