By signing up we have agreed to adopt the following targets:
– All new buildings, developments and major renovations shall be designed to meet a fossil fuel, GHG-emitting, energy consumption perfermance standard 50% of the regional (or country) average for that building type.
– At a minimum, an equal amount of existing building area shall be renovated annually to meet a fossil fuel, GHG-emitting, energy consumption performance standard of 50% of the regional (or country) average for that building type.
– The fossil fuel reduction standard for all new buildings and major renovations shall be increased to 60% in 2010, 70% in 2015, 80% in 2020, 90% in 2025 and carbon-neutral in 2030 (using fossil fuel GHG emitting energy to operate).
These 2030 Challenge targets may be accomplished by implementing innovative sustainable design strategies, generating on-site renewable power and/or purchasing (20% maximum) renewable energy and/or certified renewable energy credits.
