Table 3. Required Process for Strategic Decarbonization Plan and Five-Year Capital Plan Phase Action Pre-planning Create project team: Include, at leastminimum, team leader; owner or owner’s representative; energy expert or mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineer; expert on the building’s operations; financial expert and/or asset manager; architect; someone with construction experience; and cost estimator. The team list must include name, company, and expertise. Create carbon business as usual (BAU): Basic BAU will be provided by USGBC. Projects subject to building performance standards (BPSs) must create energy and/or carbon BAUs as per EAp1: Carbon Projection from Energy Use. Create financial BAU: Use estimated costs of energy, cost to replace major equipment in kind, and carbon or energy fees. Develop inventories: Develop these for equipment and system information, including end of useful life for major equipment. Create end-use analysis: Create breakdown of energy use by type and system. Determine the percentage of each type of energy used for heating, servicing hot water, cooking, and other process loads. Collect energy-related analyses: Include any audits, retrocommissioning reports, and other energy-related analyses that have been performed. Phase Action Create a list of trigger events and a timeline: Include replacement of major equipment or façade elements, refinancing, sunsetting of incentives, asset repositioning, etc. Develop conceptual plans: Develop at least two with a rough estimate carbon impact analysis, including at least one that achieves an estimated reduction of on-site combustion emissions > 90%. Planning Conduct a design charette: This may be in-person, virtual, or hybrid, and should include as many team members as possible. Present materials developed in the pre- planning stage. Discuss conceptual plans, issues that make them unfeasible, how to overcome the obstacles, possible changes to the plans, and other ideas to consider. Develop multiple decarbonization options: Building on the charette discussion, develop at least two decarbonization options, one of which must reduce on-site combustion emissions by >90%. Each option must include a narrative and a list of measures, with the timeline and projected impact of each measure on energy and carbon emissions and realistic costs of the decarbonization measures, including architectural, structural, and code costs incurred. Create the SDPstrategic decarbonization plan (SDP): Develop the SDP the project intends to pursue, which may be a decarbonization option from above, an amendment of either, or a new plan. The plan must include a narrative and a list of measures, with the timeline and projected impact of each measure on energy and carbon emissions, and realistic costs of the decarbonization measures, including architectural, structural, and code costs incurred. Create a five-year capital plan: Include SDP measures to be pursued in the next five years. Develop the five-year plan sufficiently for accurate carbon assessments and budgeting. The five-year plan must include a list of measures, with the timeline, cost, and projected impact of each measure on energy and carbon emissions. Attestation and Attestation: The owner or owner’s representative must attest that they have reviewed commitment the SDP and the five-year capital plan. Commitment: Provide documentation of the owner’s commitment to implement the measures in the five-year plan, with changes limited to minor modifications, more ambitious implementation, or delays outside of the owner’s control. Visualization of plans From the information provided, USGBC will generate graphs of the carbon and energy trajectories of the SDPs. OR
