Dear City of Boynton Beach Residents,
The Climate Action Plan is a landmark document that acknowledges the foresight of the City of
Boynton Beach in addressing the biggest challenges of this century - sustainability, energy and
climate change. Being sustainable means meeting the needs of the present residents without
compromising the ability of future citizenry to meet their needs while balancing environmental
stewardship, social responsibility, and economic growth.
The pursuit of sustainability has governed the direction of the City of Boynton Beach since 2008
when the City Commission involved employees, citizens and local businesses in creating
policies and programs to promote sustainability. Through the creation and work of the Green
Task Force, Green Community Alliance, and Sustainability Team and the award of the City's
Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) by the Department of Energy, the City
has made great strides towards envisioning the steps necessary to achieve a sustainable future.
The City's Climate Action Plan provides an integrated approach to the full spectrum of
government services including buildings and facilities, water and wastewater, vehicle fleet, solid
waste, procurement, land use and development, and community engagement. It is the first
installment of the City's efforts in what will be an ongoing feedback loop of planning and
adaptation efforts to effectively address sustainability issues, increase energy efficiency in the
public, private and residential sectors, and reduce our overall carbon footprint.
The City will learn from residents what makes the most sense. Monitoring will quantify
successes. The City will continue to demonstrate its leadership, and working together with our
citizens and businesses, we can achieve our vision of a sustainable community in the face of our
current climate, energy and economic challenges.
Sincerely,
~-- 6--
Jose Rodriguez
Mayor

Executive Summary
The Challenge
Climate change is the defining challenge for the 21st century. The burning of fossil
fuels and the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) has contributed to a steady rise in
carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere that have the potential to result in changes to
the global climate, including long-term temperature increases, melting of glaciers,
decrease in polar ice pack, changes in weather patterns resulting in droughts and
flooding, and sea level rise. Sea level rise would have a direct impact on the City of
Boynton Beach's (City) water supply, the ability of stormwater drainage
infrastructure to function properly and the livability of real estate along the ocean and
Intracoastal Waterway. The projected long-term effects of climate change would
directly affect the City's operations in the absence of a strategic plan that actively
moves the City forward using a sustainable approach. These many factors embody
the basis for the City's pursuit of a Climate Action Plan (CAP) that reduces the City's
GHG emissions as a first step towards a sustainable future.
The pursuit of sustainability has governed the direction of the City since 2008 when
the City involved employees and citizens in creating policies and programs to
promote sustainability. Sustainability is meeting the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs1.
Sustainability is comprised of three parts: environmental stewardship, economic
growth, and social responsibility, all of which are interrelated and mutually
reinforcing. Through the creation and work of the Green Task Force, Green
Community Alliance (CA), Sustainability Team and the award to the City of an
Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) by the United States
Department of Energy (DOE), the City has made great strides envisioning the steps
necessary to achieve a sustainable future.
The City's CAP represents the implementation plan to achieve reduced GHG
emissions and energy consumption in the future. The CAP is a key component in
securing funds and participating in regional efforts both of which are necessary for
greater effectiveness in achieving the City's emission reduction and energy efficiency
goals. The CAP addresses the need to change direction with respect to City operations
and policies, alternative energies and fuels, mass and individual transportation
strategies, land use and development, landscaping, irrigation and very importantly,
community engagement and education. These efforts will improve the overall
sustainability of the City.
A significant benefit to having a CAP is that when grant funding opportunities
become available, the City will be able to quantify the benefits of implementing
projects and programs. Energy audits conducted pursuant to CAP recommendations
can be used to prioritize actual projects that can be funded with grants. Further, many

funding programs require certain policies to already be in place before an applicant
can qualify, such as green building provisions. Finally, when a new opportunity
opens, the City will be able to apply quickly because it already has a CAP in place.
Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant
(EECBG)
The City obtained a $658,900 EECBG from the DOE that served as the catalyst to
initiate the CAP's energy savings. These funds have been used for three components.
Component 1 was to complete the application to the DOE to obtain the entire amount
of funding; this was successfully concluded in March 2010. The application to DOE
required the City to identify capital projects that would reduce GHG emissions and
fossil fuel energy consumption of the City. For Component 1, the City has focused its
efforts on the Ezell Hester Community Center (Hester Center) by proposing several
energy efficiency measures, including replacing inefficient lighting, adding motion
sensors, and several building integrated projects which will reduce the air
conditioning load and electricity use.
Component 2 of the EECBG funding was for development of the GHG Emissions
Inventory that was presented to the City Commission on April 6, 2010 and which is
summarized in Section 3 of this report. Component 3 is for development of this CAP
document which comprises the implementation mechanism for reducing GHG
emissions identified in the inventory and energy consumption in general.
GHG Emissions Inventory
The City has taken the initiative in developing the first GHG emissions inventory
within Palm Beach County. The 2006 GHG emissions inventory establishes a baseline
to measure energy use and GHG emissions from both the City of Boynton Beach and
the entire community. Understanding the major sources of direct and indirect GHG
emissions allows for prioritized and informed decision-making regarding strategies to
reduce emissions and achieve the City's goals.
Combined direct and indirect GHG emissions from City operations in FY 2006 were
29,334 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTC02e) with the largest sources of
emissions being water treatment (29 percent), wastewater treatment (24 percent),
buildings and facilities (20 percent), and the City's vehicle fleet (15 percent). The
City's community-wide GHG emissions (excluding City operations) in 2006 were
931,305 MTC02e including emissions from electricity, natural gas, fuel oil (used in
residential, commercial, and industrial buildings), transportation, and solid waste
disposal. Transportation-related emissions (48 percent) were the largest sources of
emissions from the community. The combined total of all GHG emissions (direct,
indirect, and other/community) was 960,639 MTC02e. On average, this translates into
E-2
COM
AAT134_Executive Summary.docx
Executive Summary
City of Boynton Beach Climate Action Plan 2010
14 MTC02e per capita which is less than the Florida (19)2 and U.s. national average
(24)3.
To provide additional information on the development of the CAP, the GHG
inventory was expanded to include three forecast scenarios with projections of GHG
emissions in the future:
. Scenario 1 - "Business as Usual" (BAD) scenario based on population trends
estimating emissions that can be expected if no additional actions are taken.
. Scenario 2 - Estimated future emissions assuming the City implements reduction
targets in accordance with the U.s. Mayors' Climate Change Protection Agreement.
. Scenario 3 - Estimated future emissions assuming the City implements additional
reduction measures including existing Florida policies on energy consumption and
GHG reductions that are not legally binding.
Overall, this GHG Emissions Inventory report presents an operational scenario for a 3
percent reduction in GHG emissions for City Operations by 2012, a 13 percent
reduction in emissions by 2025 and an 18 percent GHG emissions reduction by 2035
based upon the difference between business as usual (BAD) and Scenario 3. By
concentrating its efforts on its largest emissions sectors, electricity use from utilities
and building/facilities, the City will make the largest strides towards achieving its
goals with the best monetary payback.
Cost of Inaction
Not taking action to reduce energy consumption and GHG emissions will cause the
City to continue to bear excessive costs for inefficient energy usage associated with
both electricity and fuel. Reducing GHG emissions overall also demonstrates the
environmental stewardship needed in communities worldwide to reduce the
potentially costly implementation of measures and infrastructure to combat the effects
of global warming (adaptation).
The cost of both fuel and electricity are anticipated to rise in the future due to a range
of direct and indirect climate change and adaptation measures and policies. Not
implementing GHG and energy-consumption reduction measures may make the City
ineligible for federal or state funding opportunities in the future. Continuing on an
energy inefficient path will have a disproportionate impact on low income and senior
living areas as costs continue to rise. A lack of regional coordination may result in lost
opportunities for cost savings through intergovernmental coordination in planning,
monitoring and purchasing of energy efficient products.

AAT134_Executive Summary,docx
Executive Summary
City of Boynton Beach Climate Action Plan 2010
The Strategy
The community-wide GHG direct and indirect emissions are substantial, at almost
one million MTC02e on an annual basis and are due to indirect GHG emissions from
electricity consumption and vehicle fuel combustion by both City-specific operations
and the community. The City believes that there are substantial opportunities for
reductions in these emission sources that will involve community engagement and
education, enhancements in public transportation, and future development and
redevelopment using sustainable construction practices as well as improvements to
City operations.
Even though the City's direct and indirect operational GHG emissions are only 3
percent of the community-wide total, the approach to the CAP is to first focus on
government operations and policies for a twofold purpose. First; the City recognizes
the need to establish an achievable goal to reduce emissions within their control.
Additionally, the City should lead by example and demonstrate to the community
that specific targeted actions to reduce emissions can have quantifiable and cost-
saving results.
To draft this CAP, CDM worked with City staff to identify the objectives and
recommended actions most likely to foster the long-term changes necessary to achieve
its goals. Key criteria in developing the actions were the magnitude of emissions
reductions, the scale of economic and community benefits from achieving the goals
and the feasibility of the actions along with the ability of the City to facilitate their
implementation.
It is apparent that there is opportunity for reductions in GHG ermSSlons in: 1)
buildings and facilities, 2) water delivery facilities that include both the lime-softening
and membrane treatment water treatment plants, and 3) wastewater treatment at the
South Central Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (SCRWWTP). Additionally
significant GHG and energy reductions can be achieved through measures focusing
on reducing fuel consumption from vehicles.
Modify City Operations, Policies and Procedures
CDM recommends that energy conservation measures be developed for a
combination of direct emissions (City vehicle fleet fuel consumption), and indirect
(electricity consumption) emission sources. Potential activities associated with each
are indicated below.
E-4
Buildings and Facilities
Energy audits followed by retrofitting lights and appliances along with other
improvements can result in significant financial savings and reduction in indirect
GHG emissions. As noted above, energy consumption will be reduced by 25 percent
with new ball field lighting at Hester Center. Replacing T-12 fixtures with T-8 fixtures
within the community center will reduce lighting expenses by over 50 percent
particularly with the addition of motion sensors that automatically turn lights off with
no room occupancy. White reflective roof paint, window film, and changing out older

computer equipment and appliances with Energy Star appliances will also bring
about further reductions in electrical usage. Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning
(HV AC) increases in efficiency are also potentially possible with higher Seasonal
Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) ratings of air conditioning units.
Water Delivery Facilities
Water delivery facilities generate indirect GHG emissions primarily through using
electricity to pump water. Thus, electricity consumption and pump efficiency is very
important for these facilities. The Utilities Department has indicated that they will be
conducting an energy audit to determine improvements that could reduce their
electrical costs. Because water delivery is directly related to water demand, a
reduction in demand will reduce energy usage. Consequently, water conservation is
also key to reducing electrical consumption associated with pump operations.
Further actions could also include installation of water efficient fixtures and toilets in
City facilities and generally throughout the community to reduce water consumption
and energy consumption. Cisterns, stormwater tanks and rain barrels can assist in the
capture of rainwater by homeowners that can be used to reduce irrigation demands
on the City. EPA Water Sense, Energy Star and the Florida Water Star programs can
all serve as standards and certifications to encourage water efficiency in buildings and
residences. The water utility's rate structure should reflect the true cost of water in
view of increased commodity costs while not adversely impacting the rates for
customers with minimal use of water. Finally, it is recommended that the City plan
for and ensure the protection and/ or adaptation of new infrastructure against future
sea level rise and associated saltwater intrusion.
Wastewater Treatment at the SCRWWTP
The SCRWWTP is managed by a board consisting of the city commissions from both
the cities of Boynton Beach and Delray Beach. SCRWWTP is the second largest
individual source of emissions within the baseline GHG inventory, comprising
approximately 24 percent of the City's totaL This percent only includes the City of
Boynton Beach's portion of the emissions. This high percentage is due to primarily
electrical usage and to a minor extent the emission of N20 during wastewater
treatment. A recommendation of the CAP is for the City to discuss with the City of
Delray Beach the implementation of energy efficiencies at the plant based upon an
energy audit. Often these reductions in energy use can be significant consisting of
improvements in the operation of pumps, motors, blowers, aerators and lighting.
Vehicle Fleet Fuel Reductions
The City's vehicle fleet consisting primarily of solid waste, police, fire and water
utilities departments produces about 15 percent of the GHG emissions of City
operations. These all provide necessary services to the City. To achieve a 10 percent
reduction in fuel usage, the City can implement many of the recommendations for
direct emissions (city-owned fleets) and other emission sources (employee-owned
vehicles) in the report, including development of a vehicle idling policy, fleet
replacements with alternatively fueled and electric vehicles as well as high fuel-

E-5
Executive Summary

efficient vehicles. Closely examining the fleet to determine if all vehicles are needed
may result in a reduction in the number of fleet vehicles. One method to achieve
reductions is to investigate the use of alternatively fueled and electric vehicles for
administrative functions served by the City's vehicle fleet. While certain reductions in
City vehicle fleet fuel consumption may not be feasible due to the nature of the
services that must be provided, it is important for the City to investigate the potential
for the most effective reductions that can be achieved.
Empower the Sustainability Team with Responsibility for Implementation
of the Commission-Approved CAP
The City has created an inter-departmental Sustainability Team (Team). This Team
should report directly to the City Manager and have responsibility for
implementation of the initiatives of the CAP. The CAP should serve as the Work Plan
for the Team. Measures to enhance energy efficiency and conservation should be
coordinated by the Team in future budget cycles and through the capital and
operations planning process.
Support a Regional Collaborative CAP
The City's voice will be louder if the City participates in regional climate change
efforts. The City should attend the meetings, events and activities and coordinate with
the Palm Beach County Climate Collaborative and the Compact. The City should
share its collective knowledge with these entities as well as gain from them. Regional
cooperation is beneficial and often a requirement for state and federal funding
opportunities.
Collaborate with Regional Transportation Agencies
In the GHG emissions inventory, the City's vehicle fleet comprising police, fire, solid
waste and water/wastewater vehicles contributed 15 percent of the City's emissions.
Community-wide transportation contributed the largest portion of emissions released
by the City amounting to 456,865 metric tons or 48 percent of all emissions in 2006.
This is primarily due to the usage of gasoline powered vehicles. Improvements to the
regional mass transportation system will reduce the current level of vehicle miles
traveled (VMT) and collaboration with other agencies is essential to success. The City
should collaborate with Palm Beach County, the Palm Beach Metropolitan Planning
Organization and other regional transportation agencies, such as the South Florida
Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA commonly known as Tri-Rail), in the
development of an effective regional intermodal transportation network that will
remove vehicles from the road.
Develop Alternative Energy Programs and Facilities
Even though certain renewable energy policy decisions are not within the direct
control of the City, creating incentives and encouraging the use of
renewable/ alternative energy sources through development and construction
decisions can have an influence on the City's overall GHG emissions. The City should
establish its own goals to increase the use of renewable energy sources. The City
E-6
CDM
AAT134~Executive Summary,dQcx
Executive Summary
City of Boynton Beach Climate Action Plan 2010
should consider "leadership by example" through development of a demonstration
solar photo voltaic (PV) system and/ or solar hot water system to decrease electrical
usage at City Hall and other City buildings. Additionally, the City can ensure its
policies and processes create incentives for higher levels of energy efficiency in new
construction and major renovations. The City can implement programs to reduce
energy use in existing buildings and homes. The City should undertake permitting fee
incentives as appropriate for the development of alternative energy programs such as
solar hot water heating and PV electrical systems as well as retrofitting existing
buildings with energy efficient HV AC and energy efficient lighting and the use of
alternative fuels (biofuels and electricity).
Increase Recycling and Environmentally Preferred Procurement Policies
Within City operations, the City should move towards a reduction in paper and
increased utilization of electronic forms and communications. The City should
consider the adoption of environmentally-preferred procurement policies to purchase
products made with recycled materials with reduced packaging and toxicity, Energy
Star rated electronic equipment, sustainable wood furniture and other categories of
purchases. To enhance recycling, the City should consider the implementation of
special programs within City facilities, local businesses and community wide. The
City should also consider the implementation of Construction and Demolition
("C&D") debris single stream recycling. The City can also establish appropriate
recycling (including electronic waste) and composting targets and policies. Finally,
this initiative could include standards for purchases prohibiting those that contain
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) or Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) and requiring
vendors that work with the City to meet certain green standards for their products
and services.
Provide Community Engagement and Education
In addition to leading by example, a way to secure long-term commitments to reduce
community-wide emissions is through educating the community about the
importance of their contribution to achieve the CAP goals. While the City has no
direct control over the utilization of electricity and fuel or the driving habits of
residents, it is apparent that education about the benefits, primarily cost, of reducing
energy usage is necessary to reduce the community's production of GHGs. The City
should provide community outreach and education about climate change and actions
that can reduce in-home expenditures as well as mitigate future increases in GHG
production that promote climate change.
Amend the City's Comprehensive Plan
A key to the success of the CAP is to ensure long-term and short-term policies are
aligned to facilitate its implementation. Existing mechanisms should be used to
implement these actions and evaluate progress towards achieving goals including
adapting and revising its strategy as necessary. Because 2008 legislation required that
local governments include GHG reduction strategies in four elements of their
Comprehensive Plans already, CDM recommends that CAP implementation occur by
caw
E-7

similarly incorporating its recommendations into the Comprehensive Plan and Code
of Ordinances as appropriate and required. This serves a two-fold purpose in meeting
the requirements of this legislation as well as providing an implementation
mechanism that can be updated as the City's goals and priorities change.
Amend the City's Code of Ordinances
Existing residential and commercial electricity uses are the primary emitters of
community-wide GHG emissions after transportation. With the City predominantly
built out, the City will have limited influence on the ultimate placement of land uses
throughout the community. For this reason the recommendation is that the City
concentrates its efforts in conjunction with its transportation goals. Connecting
existing land uses to reduce VMT will also be a key land use and development
strategy. Coordination with community improvement and redevelopment initiatives,
funding sources and programs could increase opportunities to achieve this goal. Code
changes to consider are the development of a green building ordinance, appropriate
incentives within permits, floor area ratios and other appropriate building and
development incentives. Incentives should be tailored to result in projects that go
"beyond Code" such as net zero energy buildings/homes or those that integrate a
significant number of energy and water conservation measures.
Overcoming Challenges to Implementation
The changing regulatory landscape is one of the major challenges to implementing the
CAP. With the evolution of increasing regulation comes the sometimes unintended
effect of "competing" policy goals. One example is the state's effort to increase the
amount of water a utility uses from alternative sources by diversifying to sources
which require utilization of expensive treatment technology actually increasing
energy use.
Funding is the main challenge to implementation. CDM recommends that the City
fund its CAP efforts through a variety of different mechanisms. The Community
Alliance has recommended the use of performance contracting through an Energy
Services Company (ESCO). Performance contracting involves having energy savings
pay for guaranteed energy reduction improvements. Improvements are paid for
through the operating budget rather than the capital budget. There are also grant
opportunities, a potential for private investment partnerships, and several bond
programs including Clean Renewable Energy Bonds (CREBs) and Qualified Energy
Conservation Bonds (QECBs). A new source of funding approved by the legislature
this year is the Property Assessed Clean Energy or PACE program. PACE is a way for
individual property owners to implement improvements on their property by
voluntary assessments that show up on the tax bills once the program is approved by
a local government.
Monitoring is the Key to Success
Monitoring of energy consumption and GHG emissions will be the key to achieving
the City's goal of an 18 percent reduction in GHG emissions by 2035. CDM

Executive Summary
City of Boynton Beach Climate Action Plan 2010
recommends the use of Energy Star Portfolio Manager, a free software program from
the (EPA). It is an interactive energy management tool that will allow the City to track
and assess both water and energy usage across an entire portfolio of City buildings. It
will calculate the GHG emissions from energy use of each building. The program will
verify energy efficiency improvements and identify under-performing buildings. It is
recommended that this monitoring be carried out in conjunction with the proposed
Energy Management System with the latter system providing information for the
former program.
The CAP as a Living Document
The approach to the CAP includes two major strategies to meet these challenges. First,
the CAP includes policy recommendations and uses real data to prioritize projects
that will make the City more competitive for funding. Second, the process of tracking
the success of the CAP on an annual basis in conjunction with its capital planning
process allows the City to constantly monitor its successes and setbacks in achieving
its goals. With commitment and community education and outreach, the City can
implement its CAP in a timely and cost effective manner resulting in significant cost
savings and GHG reductions.
The City realizes that the CAP is the first installment of the City's efforts. There will
be a multitude of changes ahead of the City between now and the year 2035. The
document is a living document that will evolve with continued changes in
technology, energy efficiency, policies, engineering, science, and the economy of the
times. The City will continue to deInOA&trate its leadership and partnership with other
communities in the efforts to achieve a sustainable future for its residents.

Introduction
1.0 Introduction
"My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life
there." Charles Kettering
Since 2008, the City of Boynton Beach (lithe City") has involved City employees and
citizens in creating policies and programs that will promote sustainability within the
Boynton Beach Community. The definition of sustainability is to endure in the face of
challenges. The desire to live sustainably originates from the realization that
humanity is living unsustainably using far too many natural resources which is
having environmental, social and financial impacts. The concept of sustainability in
City planning is to correct to the greatest extent possible this imbalance and meet the
needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future
generations of residents to meet their
needs.
Planning for achieving sustainability is
accomplished by actions that meet the
needs of the three mutually reinforcing
pillars of sustainability: environmental
stewardship, economic growth, and social
responsibility illustrated in Figure 1-1.
Through the creation and work of the
Green Task Force, Green Community
Alliance, and Sustainability Team, and
the award of the City's Energy Efficiency
and Conservation Block Grant
(EECBG), the City has made great
strides in creating a cohesive
approach to addressing the three
pillars that are necessary to achieve a sustainable future.

indicate that global climate has warmed and that human activities are responsible for
the warming trends since the mid 1900s. The year 2009 was the second warmest year
in the modern global record, and for the Southern Hemisphere the year 2009 was the
warmest year since modern records began in 1880.4 Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are the
major explanation for these changes. Climate change is symptomatic of the excessive
use of resources, in particular, energy from fossil fuels that results in the emission of
GHG, primarily carbon dioxide (C02)5 as shown in Figure 1-2.
Projected changes include sea level rise, the continued shrinking of Arctic sea ice,
disappearance of mountain glaciers, increased evaporation from soils and crops,
increases in convective summer rainfall, increased drought potential (different
regions may experience increased or decreased precipitation leading to potential
drought or flooding conditions), mosquito and other insect outbreaks, ocean
acidification, and biodiversity changes in ocean and land ecosystems.
The documented melting of mountain glaciers currently occurring and the potential
melting of Greenland and West Antarctic ice caps (currently uncertain as to extent)
may cause significant sea level rise. Table 1-1 shows the current rate of sea level rise
around Florida. Recently, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD)
published a report planning for a 5-20 inch increase in sea level by 2060.6 The SFWMD
has indicated that sea level rise has already begun to interfere with the operation of
some water control structures. 7 The U.s. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has
also recently published a report focusing on potential climate change impacts on
8
water and coastal resources.

The physical impacts of climate change will expand and intensify in the decades
ahead, requiring communities worldwide to begin considering adaptation strategies.
In July of 2009, the U.s. Army Corps of Engineers adopted new guidance for
incorporating the direct and indirect physical effects of projected future sea-level
change in managing, planning, engineering, designing, constructing, operating and
maintaining their projects and systems of projects. It requires planning based on a

low, intermediate and high projection usinS the current estimate of 1.7 mm/year of an
increase for global mean sea-level change. I
The physical impacts of a changing climate are matched and compounded by social
challenges and economic consequences such as rising energy costs associated with
conveying water, transportation and health care. Low-income and vulnerable citizens,
such as our elderly communities, face disproportionate impacts of climate change
including having fewer resources to respond to these changes.
Federal policy and regulations have included new principles to address energy
security, and climate change. Our state policy direction has also evolved requiring
local governments to incorporate energy efficient building policies and GHG
reduction strategies into their requisite Comprehensive Plans and land development
regulations. With these new policies and directions also come new opportunities for
implementation and financial incentives. Based upon the inclusion of these new
policies and regulations at the state and federal levels, it will be important to have
clear goals and strategies when securing opportunities, including financial assistance,
for implementation of energy and climate change objectives.
In the spring of 2010, Monroe, Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties signed
the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact supporting the development
of a Regional Collaborative Climate Action Plan. Although the signatories to this
Compact are county-level governments, the contribution of the municipalities
towards the achievement of the Compact's goals is no less important. With a clear
focus on regional collaboration, supported by both the Treasure Coast and South
Florida Regional Planning Councils, the City of Boynton Beach will be prepared to do
its part to reduce its GHG emissions.
An initial step in achieving a sustainable future, securing funds and opportunities to
address these issues, and participating in these regional efforts, is for the City to
create a CAP that identifies baseline GHG emissions and outlines projects and
strategies to achieve reductions in emissions. The following sections of this CAP detail
the sources of emissions, a recommended goal for emission reductions and an
implementation plan to reduce both emissions by City operations and the
Community.

Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block
Grant Funding
The City obtained a $658,900 Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant
(EECBG) from the Federal Department of Energy (DOE). These funds have been used
for three components.
Component 1 was to complete the application to the DOE to obtain the entire amount
of funding; this was successfully concluded in March 2010. The application to DOE
required the City to identify capital projects that would reduce GHG emissions in the
City. For Component 1, the City has focused its efforts on the Ezell Hester
Community Center (Hester Center) by proposing the following activities:
. Replacement of the lighting at the Hester Center ballfields. Existing energy-
inefficient lighting at the ballfields (football, baseball, basketball, handball, tennis)
will be replaced with high efficiency "Green Generation Fixtures." The existing 112
- 1500W fixtures will be replaced with 84 - 1500W fixtures with an annual energy
savings of 20 percent.
. Replacement of the existing T-12 fluorescent fixtures numbering about 224 with an
equivalent number of T-8 fixtures inside the Hester Recreation Center; it is
estimated that the lighting savings will be in excess of 50 percent. In addition, 29 -
400W metal halide high-bay lights in the gymnasium will be replaced with an
equivalent number of T -5 fluorescents.
. Placement of motion sensors throughout Hester Center to capture further energy
savmgs.
. Replacement of appliances inside of the Hester Center with new Energy Star
appliances. Three refrigerator/freezers will be replaced with one Energy Star
refrigerator and one Energy Star freezer. One industrial ice-maker will be replaced
with one Energy Star ice-maker.
. Application of window tinting that will reduce AC usage.
. Coating of the roof of Hester Center with reflective paint will secure additional AC
energy savings. Roof coating will be performed if funding is left after the
implementation of the five activities above.
Component 2 was for development of the GHG Emissions Inventory that was
presented to the City Commission on April 6, 2010.
Component 3 is for development of this CAP which comprises the implementation
mechanism for reducing GHG emissions identified in the inventory.

City of Boynton Beach - Greenhouse Gas
Emissions Inventory
3.0 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory Summary
The City conducted a comprehensive GHG Emissions Inventory as part of DOE's
Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program (EECBG). The GHG
emissions inventory included sources from both city operations and the community
of Boynton Beach in calendar year 2006, a normal or more representative year, with
no major hurricanes or storms that would interrupt normal operations and skew
emissions results.
The Clean Air Climate Protection (CACP) Software from ICLEI (Local Governments
for Sustainability) along with supplemental methods from the Local Governments
Operations Protocol were used to calculate GHG emissions from city operations and
the community (Table 3-1). GHG emissions from the City are primarily carbon
dioxide (C02), but also include methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N20), and a small
amount of hydrofIuorocarbons (HFC).

City of Boynton Beach - Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory
3.1 City Operations: Results
The total GHG emissions from city operations in 2006 are about 29,300 metric tons of
carbon dioxide equivalents (C02e). Over half of the City's GHG emissions from city
operations come from the indirect emissions associated with the water utilities sector
(Figure 3-1). Overall, the largest source of emissions is from electricity use in
buildings, facilities (including water delivery and wastewater facilities), streetlights
and traffic lights, which is cornmon in U.s. cities. Indirect emissions (electricity) make
up over 75 percent of the total city operations GHG inventory with over 22,000
MTC02e as shown in (Figure 3-2).

City of Boynton Beach - Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory
There are nine large GHG emission sources from city operations which contribute 80
percent of the total GHG emissions from city operations. These sources may be an
appropriate starting point for considering energy efficient strategies as they may
represent the greatest potential for GHG and energy savings (Table 3-2).

3.2 Community-wide: Results
The overall community of Boynton Beach, including GHG emissions from residential,
commercial, and industrial buildings, transportation, and solid waste disposal
sources, emitted about 931,300 metric tons of C02e, not including emissions from city
operations (Figure 3-3). With city operations included, the entire City emitted 960,600
metric tons of C02e (Figure 3-4). Overall, the largest source of emissions from the
community-wide inventory is from vehicles traveling within the City.
Residents of Boynton Beach emitted 14 MT C02e per capita which is far fewer
emissions on a per capita basis compared to residents of the state of Florida1, the US2,
and Gainesville, Florida3 but are higher than those of North Miami, Florida4 (Table 3-
3). The City may use this baseline to measure the progress of GHG reduction actions
in the future.

3.3 GHG Emission Forecasting: City Operations
In addition to creating a baseline GHG emissions inventory, three forecast scenarios
were established based on the best information available to provide reasonable
estimates for future emissions of city operations:
. Scenario 1: Business as Usual (BAU). BAU is based on population trends, adopted
rules, legislation, and policy since 2006. Scenario 1 shows a decrease in GHG
emissions by 2012 of 11 percent from the 2006 baseline, suggesting that both
external factors and City action may result in lower GHG emissions from the
baseline. These emission levels remain approximately constant through 2035,
showing that the effect of the external factors and City action compensate for
population growth through 2035.
. Scenario 2: The US. Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement. This agreement calls
for cities to reduce their GHG emissions at least 7 percent from 1990 levels by 2012.
Scenario 2 shows a 36 percent decrease in emissions from the 2006 baseline. This
large decrease is a less achievable reduction goal than 7 percent below 1990 levels
seems to indicate. This is largely due to increases in population and the building
boom between 1990 and 2006.
. Scenario 3: Pending and Non-binding Florida administrative rules and legislation.
These include the Governor's Executive Order 07-127, the proposed renewable
portfolio standard, and the results of the City's employee transportation survey.
Scenario 3 shows an initial decrease in GHG emissions by 2012 from 2006 levels of
14 percent, and continues on a nearly steady reduction path of 8 percent below 2012
by 2025, and 8 percent below 2025 by 2035. This results in a 27 percent total
reduction from 2006 levels by 2035 (Figure 3-5).

The gap between the forecasted Scenario 1 and Scenario 3 GHG emission levels
illustrate the reductions the City may expect to achieve should future regulation be
adopted. The difference between these two scenarios is 3 percent in 2012, 13 percent
in 2025, and 18 percent in 2035 (Table 3-4).
Table 3-4 Percent Change of GHG Emissions from 2006 Levels for City Operations
2006 - 2012 2006 - 2025 2006 - 2035
Scenario 1: Business as Usual -11% -8% -9%
Scenario 2: U.S. Mayor's Climate Pledge Projections -36% -36% -36%
Scenario 3: Pending and Non-binding Florida Legislation -14% -21% -27%
Total Reduction between Scenarios 1 and 3 -3% -13% -18%
The City may choose to achieve reductions in the electricity sector within its own
facilities because lowering GHG emissions from electricity may have the best
monetary payback. If the City chooses to achieve GHG reductions between Scenario 1
and Scenario 3 by reducing electricity use only, electricity would need to be reduced 3
percent by 2012, 17 percent by 2025 and 25 percent by 2035 (Table 3-5). If the City
chooses to make a 10 percent reduction in vehicle fuel use within the City fleet as
well, electricity would then only need to be reduced 2 percent by 2012, 16 percent by
2025 and 23 percent by 2035 (Table 3-6).

The Climate Action Plan
4.0 Objectives and Recommendations
The challenge of climate change is urgent and the City's response has been timely. On
February 19, 2008, the Boynton Beach City Commission approved and adopted
Resolution R08-025 establishing a Green Task Force to oversee the process of
improving and sustaining the environmental needs of the community.
The Commission's goal was to involve City employees and citizens in creating
policies and programs that promote environmental sustainability within the Boynton
Beach Community. The Green Task Force was created to focus on areas of Public
Education; Water Conservation; Waste Reduction/Recycling and Sustainable
Construction. Additionally, the Green Task Force was asked to provide
recommendations to the City Commission regarding the development of a long-term
environmental improvement plan to reduce GHG emissions and an assessment of the
current environmental situation. This included:
. Researching successful programs implemented by other communities and
providing recommendations for ways to improve the environmental sustainability
of city programs, services, equipment and facilities.
. Proposing means to enhance water and energy conservation which would also
provide a reduction in indirect GHG emissions.
. Creating incentives for residents, businesses, developers and organizations to
practice environmental conservation and sustainable building.
. Incorporate green building standards into the City's Land Development
Regulations.
. Create incentives for sustainable affordable housing developments which would
also provide a reduction in direct and indirect GHG emissions.
The Green Task Force made substantial progress in inventorying best practices both
in the City of Boynton Beach and in other local level governments and provided the
City Commission with a comprehensive list of recommendations which was
approved by the Commission on October 7, 2008. At that point, it became crucial to
include community input into the process in order to begin the formulation of a
Climate Action Plan (CAP) for the City.
The City Commission directed the City Manager to allow staff to continue working on
the development of the CAP and to incorporate public participation in the process.
These" alliances" would allow the City to interact with residents, businesses and
organizations who wished to assist in prioritizing local efforts. Based on the Green
4-1
Section 4
The Climate Action Plan
Task Force recommendations, the "Green Community Alliance" was formed
comprised of key professionals from the Boynton Beach community including:
. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design ("LEED") Professionals
. Architects
. Environmental Engineers
. Landscape Architects
. Transportation Specialists
. General Contractors
. Non-profit Environmentalists
. Utility jEnergy Professionals
. Environmental Scientists
These professionals joined together, with other interested members of the community,
and staff members from the City's own inter-departmental Sustainability Team, to
create a Green Community Alliance that would continue the efforts of the Green Task
Force and explore programs and implementation strategies for incorporation into a
Boynton Beach CAP.
Five sub-teams were created. These five sub-teams met independently two to four
times a month for a six-month period. The Green Community Alliance membership
came together every two months to share their progress, participate in informational
workshops and presentations, and collaborate with the other teams. The strategies
created by these efforts have been incorporated into this Climate Action Plan.
This Plan incorporates strategies from the City of Boynton Beach Green Community
Alliance Report, "Strategies to Improve, Promote and Sustain the Environmental Needs of
the Communihj." References to the strategies from that Report are indicated with
II CA" .
4.1 Government Operations and Policies
GHG emissions from the City of Boynton Beach operations account for about three
percent of total City emissions or 29,300 MTC02e from the 2006 baseline. While this
presents a modest opportunity to reduce emissions directly, it is an essential
obligation to lead by example. Just as the City must provide enabling policies,
technical assistance, education, incentives and other support to help the community
achieve the objectives of this Climate Action Plan, the City must also lead the way in
its own operations. Of the City's total emissions, the emissions by sector include the

category of emissions (approximately 53 percent), followed by buildings and facilities
(20 percent), and vehicle fleet (15 percent). The remaining 12 percent is almost equally
distributed between streetlights & traffic signals, employee commuting, and solid
waste facilities.
4.1.1 Buildings and Facilities
Buildings consume 74 percent of the electricity produced annually in the U.s. The
City owns and operates numerous office buildings, streetlights and several large scale
water and wastewater treatment plants. Given that the majority of the City's
emissions are from the Water and Wastewater Facilities Sectors, there is significant
overlap with the Water Conservation and Landscape Irrigation Section of the CAP.
The City has already embarked on a project to retrofit lighting and electrical uses at
the Ezell Hester Center ballfields and community center.
In conjunction with Florida Power and Light (FPL), CDM recommends that the City
conduct further energy auditing of its buildings and facilities to benchmark existing
energy usage and develop further energy conservation measures. FPL has offered to
conduct these energy audits free of charge and offers rebates for many of the
suggested energy saving improvements. Energy conservation measures may include
the following: lighting, air cooling/Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HV AC)
systems, chiller/Thermal Energy storage systems, reflective roof surfaces, window
treatments/ replacements, insulation, energy recovery ventilation systems, demand
control ventilation systems, refrigeration, back up generating systems, water heating
and demand reduction control/load management devices.
CDM recommends the implementation of an Energy Management System (EMS) at
the City to monitor and control HV AC, the largest controllable drain on energy,
lighting and other systems at its facilities to reduce non-essential or variable costs. An
EMS is a computer-aided tool used to control, monitor, schedule and optimize the
performance of energy-using systems. Use of an EMS is a way to achieve energy
efficiency and increase awareness of energy efficiency throughout City operations.
EMS can be installed as part of an Energy Service Company (ESCO) agreement. An
ESCO can provide the City with a broad range of options for implementing energy
saving upgrades.
Objective:
Reduce GHG emissions from City operations 3 percent by 2012, 13 percent by 2025
and 18 percent by 2035 as compared to 2006 levels.
Actions to Achieve Objective:
. Develop an HV AC and lighting retrofitting strategy and timetable.
. Eliminate or reduce use of refrigerant gases (Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC),
Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC), and Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)), which have
Global Warming Potentials (GWP) that are thousands of times greater than C02 in
4-3
Section 4
The Climate Action Plan
HV AC systems and replace them with more ozone and climate-friendly refrigerant
gases (such as propane, butane, and cyclopentane, water, ammonia and air).
. As older computer equipment and appliances must be replaced, ensure that new
equipment meets Energy Star or equitable ratings.
. When planning public infrastructure investments, consider the physical,
environmental and economic impacts of increasing the energy and water efficiency
of the projects. Examine the Capital Improvements Element of the Comprehensive
Plan to identify potential opportunities to increase the efficiency of these projects
over their lifespan.
4.1.2 Water jWastewater Facilities, Conservation and Landscape
Irrigation
Three percent of national energy consumption is used for drinking water and
wastewater services. Two of the top four largest single sources of emissions in the
inventory resulted from membrane and lime softening treatment operations from the
City's Water Treatment Plants. These operations account for 29 percent of the City's
largest individual sources of emissions mostly from electricity consumption.
Nationally, $4 billion dollars is spent annually for energy costs to run and operate
drinking water and wastewater utilities and those costs are rising. Since 2001, water
and wastewater costs have increased 1.45 times faster than electricity costs, according
to the United States Consumer Price Index. Energy represents the largest controllable
cost of providing water or wastewater services to the public (on average 1/3 of a
municipalities total energy bill). The collection, distribution and treatment of drinking
water and wastewater nationwide release approximately 116 billion pounds of C02
per year - as much global warming pollution each year as 10 million cars.1 Reducing
water consumption saves energy because less water needs to be treated and pumped
to end users. Conserving energy also reduces the need for the significant amount of
water in power plant operations. Investments in water and energy efficiency can
produce multiple benefits such as conserving water supply, protecting water quality,
and lowering energy demand, which also results in economic savings, greater
sustainability of our water infrastructure and a reduction in global warming
pollution.
Nationwide, irrigation equals 10-50 percent (approaching 80 percent in some areas) of
the water use in a residence. Because of the relationship between water and energy
use, aggressive outdoor water conservation can provide large benefits for reduction of
the City's greenhouse gas emissions. Rain sensors -- also called rain shut-off devices --
are designed to interrupt the cycle of an automatic irrigation system controller when a
specific amount of rainfall has occurred. They are small devices wired to the irrigation
system controller and mounted in an open area where they are exposed to rainfall.

Section 4
The Climate Action Plan
The 2009 Florida Legislature amended Section 373.62, F.s., to modify the provisions
for automatic irrigation systems, including control systems and sensors to require
contractors to perform certain tests and repairs; and to require the Florida Department
of Environmental Protection (DEP) to create a model ordinance with certain
provisions, including penalties.
The City of Boynton Beach has a multi-faceted Water Conservation Plan as a
requirement of its existing South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD)
issued Consumptive Use Permit (CUP) for water supply. Implementation of the
Water Conservation Plan will reduce demand for water and also have the ancillary
benefit of lessening the energy use from operations to deliver that water. The City's
Water Conservation Plan includes the following eight attributes:
. An ordinance limiting landscape irrigation to, at minimum, the District's year-
round landscape irrigation conservation measures as specified in Rule 40E-24.201
F.A. C. This rule allows irrigation three days per week in Palm Beach County.
. An ordinance requiring implementation of Florida-friendly landscaping.
. An ordinance requiring the installation of ultra-low volume plumbing fixtures in
all new construction.
. An ordinance requiring a rain sensor device or automatic shut off with the
purchase and installation of an automatic lawn sprinkler system
. Adoption of water conservation rate-based structures
. Implementation of a leak detection program when unaccounted for water losses are
greater than 10 percent
. Determination of the feasibility for making reclaimed water available
. Implementation of water conservation public education programs
Pursuant to the City's most recently issued SFWMD consumptive use permit the City
is required to reduce its per capita usage by 8 gallons per capita day (GPCD). This
permit also requires the development of a long interconnection that unites the
western wellfield with the eastern water treatment plant, along with development of
an extensive reclaimed water system. The components of the Water Conservation
Program most likely to reduce water usage and consequently energy usage are:
reducing unaccounted-for water due to leakage from pipes, and decreasing outdoor
irrigation.
An aggressive outdoor water conservation program will provide large benefits
because about 50 percent of water used in the City is for outside irrigation. Reducing
outdoor usage may be accomplished through further incentive programs, rain
sensors, regulatory controls such as more aggressive watering restrictions, increased

The Climate Action Plan
tiers in water conservation rate structures, encouraging or requiring Florida Friendly
landscaping, limits on the size of lawn area, and the types of grass and plants
allowed. The SFWMD currently limits irrigation to three days a week although other
communities such as Miami Dade County and the Town of Lantana have gone to two
days per week. The City may elect by ordinance to further reduce the days or hours of
irrigation use or encourage low-volume irrigation that may be used without
restriction on days irrigated.
Objective:
Conduct energy audits to determine improvements to reduce electrical costs at the
City's water and wastewater facilities.
Actions to Achieve Objective:
. Evaluate energy efficiency of high-service pumps. Develop an energy efficiency
strategy for water utility operations to maximize efficiency of treatment, operations
and equipment.
. Explore opportunities to incorporate renewable energy sources into the expansion
or retrofit of water infrastructure.
. Increase use of aquifer storage and recovery of excess water that would ultimately
be discharged to the ocean during the wet season.
. Maximize use of the East Lime Softening Plant and minimize use of the West
Membrane Treatment Plant.
. As co-owner of the South County Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility, the City
is increasing the use of wastewater by existing customers and working to expand
the wastewater treatment capacity by 8 million gallons per day. Explore
partnerships with the City of Delray Beach to complete energy audits at the
Facility. Benchmark current energy usage and efficiencies. Evaluate the potential
benefits of turbo blowers for wastewater aeration, as well as the use of variable
frequency drives (VFD). Evaluate the treatment process to determine efficiency.
. Develop a rebate and incentive program for low-flow toilets and fixtures.
. Explore using an energy management program such as Energy Star's "Portfolio
Manager" for water and wastewater plants to track, measure and reduce energy
use. See section on Monitoring.
Objective:
Reduce GHG emissions from City operations 3 percent by 2012, 13 percent by 2025
and 18 percent by 2035 as compared to 2006 levels.

Actions to Achieve Objective:
. Use regulatory methods to limit water use. While the City is only required to limit
outside landscape irrigation to 3 days per week, other communities within the 16
counties of the South Florida Water Management District are only allowing 2 day
per week watering. CDM recommends exploring the feasibility of reducing the
number of days or hours of landscape irrigation allowed under the City's water
conservation ordinance as compared to the relevant requirements in Chapter 40E-
24, F.A.C. The City may consider encouraging low-volume irrigation that may be
used without restriction on days irrigated.
. Adopt Florida Friendly landscaping principles in the land development code
including identification of permitted and prohibited
species [CA]. Establish landscape requirements in the
City's Land Development Regulations with a target of
greater than 50 percent for new landscaping consisting
of Florida Friendly species including lawn grass.

program and better utilize the City's website and social
media to communicate the program.
. Promote partnerships and consistent conservation
policies with all users within the City's water service
area including homeowner's and condominium
associations.
. Establish aggressive water efficiency standards for City
and non-City new construction and major renovations
which exceed the Florida Building Code2 and based
upon appropriate standards such as U.s. Environmental
Protection Agency's (EPA) WaterSense or Energy Star.
See further recommendations related to water efficiency
standards in the Sustainable Construction section.

· Establish landscape requirements for single family infill that can support creation
of an urban forest with energy conserving benefits
· Establish an urban forestry program to develop a city-wide tree canopy survey
with the eventual goal of reducing the "heat island" effect due to dark or asphalt
surfaces.
4.1.3 City's Vehicle Fleet and Employee Commuting
The primary fleet vehicle emissions include solid waste, police, fire, and water utilities
departments which comprise approximately 15 percent of the GHG emissions of City
operations. While certain reductions in City vehicle fleet fuel consumption are not
feasible due to both the nature of the services that must be provided and vehicles
required to provide those services, it is important for the City to investigate the
potential for the most effective reductions that can be achieved. One method to
achieve reductions is to investigate the use of alternatively fueled and electric vehicles
when replacing or adding vehicles for the City's vehicle fleet.
EPA and the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) have finalized a joint rule to establish a national program
consisting of new standards for model years 2012 through 2016 for light-duty vehicles
to reduce GHG and improve fuel economy. 3 These new standards apply to new
passenger cars, light-duty trucks and medium-duty passenger vehicles. The EP A
standards require these vehicles to meet an estimated combined average emissions
level of 250 grams of CO2 per mile in model year 2016, equivalent to 35.5 miles per
gallon (mpg) if the automotive industry were to meet this CO2 level all through fuel
economy improvements. This is yet another consideration in the City's fleet policy in
terms of when vehicle replacement can and should occur to maximize fleet
reductions.
Objective:
Identify opportunities to reduce the City's vehicle fleet emissions through
decreasing the size of the fleet and/or increasing the fuel efficiency of the vehicles
with a goal of 10 percent fleet emissions reductions by 2035.
Actions to Achieve Objective:
· Evaluate the need for each vehicle in the fleet and eliminate those vehicles that do
not fulfill a specific purpose. Consider setting a goal of eliminating 5 to 10 percent
of the fleet vehicles through implementation of recommendations listed below.

· Enhance a vehicle idling policy for all applicable City vehicles that furthers the
objectives of the vehicle idling reduction requirements in Chapter 62-285, F.A.C.
including the five minute limitation on idling from heavy-duty diesel engine
powered motor vehicles. [CA].
· Evaluate (and implement if feasible) provision of alternate and/ or fuel efficient
vehicles (such as Segways, electric or hybrid vehicles) for short-distance trips made
by City employees.
· Research and provide recommendations regarding bicycle amenities for City staff
as part of facilities planning and capital budget processes. [CA]
· Further research and make a recommendation regarding a "fuel-efficient shuttle"
between the Boynton Tri-Rail Station and City offices. [CA]
· Further research and provide future report on potential feasibility of workforce
housing, on-site day-care, in-house cafes and other trip-saving/ time-saving capital
amenities. [CA]
· Adopt employee scheduling and other measures to reduce energy use
Adopt a City telecommuting policy manual including provisions [CA] such as
those found in Section 110.171, F.s. for state agency employees. The provisions
should include documenting measurable financial benefits associated with
reduced office space requirements, reductions in energy consumption, VMT,
and associated GHG resulting from telecommuting. [CA]
Implement compressed 4-day workweek for City employees (already
implemented by City). [CA] This has resulted in a reduction in VMT and GHG
emissions due to reduced vehicle usage as well as reduced electrical
consumption by the City.
4-9
Section 4
The Climate Action Plan
Evaluate (and adopt if the Commission believes this to be a reasonable and
financially prudent action) a furlough policy to close City offices for one full
week a year as an energy cost and general cost reduction strategy consistent
with the furlough policy in effect for state agencies (Section 100.1225, F.s.)
identifying all affected positions and ensure that all affected employees are
subject to the same reduction of hours for the same number of pay periods
with a commensurate reduction in pay. [CA] This will result in associated
reductions in VMT and GHG emissions. Due to Federal Labor Law limitations
and to achieve maximum savings in both VMT and GHG emissions, it is
recommended that the furlough occur over consecutive work days.
4.1.4 Emissions from Solid Waste
Solid waste comprised 2.4 percent of the City's total greenhouse gas emissions. All
solid waste generated within the City is disposed of at the Solid Waste Authority's
(SW A) North County Resource Recovery Facility (NCRRF) in West Palm Beach. The
NCRRF consists of both a landfill with a landfill gas recovery system and a waste-to-
energy facility. In relation to solid waste emissions, the City's largest vehicle fleet
emissions were from solid waste at 32 percent.
Additionally, the 2010 Florida Legislature passed HB 7243 which created many state
incentive programs and resources to increase recycling for local governments and
businesses. The City should use the passage of this legislation as an opportunity to
incorporate relevant policies into its own Code of Ordinances and Comprehensive
Plan as appropriate. Many state agency initiatives can translate into effective City
policies. The City can also incorporate new initiatives of the Recycling Business
Assistance Center created by this bill. Partnerships with the business community and
City specific policies on recycling could have a dual benefit of reducing actual
emissions from solid waste and fleet emissions from solid waste service.
Objective:
Explore opportunities to meet and exceed the following recycling standards (for
recyclable solid waste) required for counties: 40 percent recycled solid waste by
December 31, 2012, 50 percent recycled solid waste by December 31, 2014, 60
percent recycled solid waste by December 31, 2016, 70 percent recycled solid waste
by December 31, 2018 and 75 percent recycled solid waste by December 31, 2020.
Actions to Achieve the Objective:
· Maximize the City's E-government access and develop a paperwork reduction
policy.
· Meet or exceed the State's recycling target for municipal solid waste of 75 percent
by 2020. This would include meeting the annual reporting requirements pursuant
to Section 403.7032, F.s.

new Recycling Business Assistance Center in DEP.
· Develop appropriate composting policies consistent with Section 403.706, F.5. for
organic materials or mulching organic materials that would otherwisE! be disposed
of in a landfill. Determine additional opportunities for composting in partnership
with the private sector.
· Ensure new development projects, on or after July 1, 2012, for multifamily
residential or commercial purposes provide adequate space and receptacles for
recycling by tenants and owners consistent with HB 7243 amending Section
403.706, FS. Determine system for monitoring and tracking compliance with
building permit process.
. Publish the City's rate of recycling on its website.
4.1.5 Actions to Administer the City's Climate Action Plan
The City should formalize the membership and reporting process for the inter-
departmental Sustainability Team. Primary responsibilities of the Team should
include inter-departmental coordination to maximize funding opportunities,
coordination to ensure implementation of Community-wide climate policy goals,
coordination with other local government jurisdictions, monitoring of progress
towards achieving the City's goals, and annual progress reporting.
The Sustainability Team should continue coordination with Palm Beach County, the
Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact (Compact), Treasure Coast
Regional Planning Council (TCRPC), Palm Beach County Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO) and SFWMD to achieve regional cooperation in reducing the
costs of products and services and obtaining technical assistance and grant funding.
Energy, climate change and sustainability related-legislation at the state and federal
levels should be tracked for its impact on the City. Various state and federal
rulemaking initiatives could have a future impact on the implementation of the CAP.
The Team should make policy recommendations for energy and cost savings for
consideration by the City Manager and the Commission through a quarterly update
and annual summary process. This also provides an opportunity to educate the
community on the progress made to date.
Regional cooperation may provide cost savings if cities, counties, and other
governmental entities coordinate and share resources to achieve economies of scale.
For example, the development of an alternative fuel or electric vehicle stations
initiative among all four southeast Florida counties may result in fuel supply and
infrastructure at reasonable costs as opposed to the City pursuing this initiative alone.
4-11
Section 4
The Climate Action Plan
Collaboration with the County and the Compact on legislative policies will raise the
awareness at state and federal levels on the vulnerabilities of South Florida and the
need for assistance. Finally, such collaboration provides opportunities for
partnerships on grants and other funding opportunities and should be a key role of
the City's Sustainability Team.
Objective:
The City Sustainability Team should be responsible for implementing the Climate
Action Plan, monitoring and tracking its success and developing consistent policy
recommendations for the City to achieve its GHG reduction goals.
Actions to Achieve the Objective:
. The City should maintain its inter-departmental Sustainability Team to meet
quarterly to evaluate the effectiveness of the City's operations and policies on
energy conservation and sustainability.
. The Team should develop office and administrative procedures" green manual"
with milestones, goals and timelines to meet the City's goals.
. The Team should coordinate with Palm Beach County, the Compact, TCRPe, MPO
and SFWMD on grant funding and obtaining technical expertise on regional
climate change that would otherwise not be available. The Team should also reach
out to Florida Atlantic University as a source of scientific information on climate
change and its projections.
. The Team should develop a template and data management system to monitor and
track progress towards reaching GHG reduction goals. Monitoring of energy
reductions should be coordinated by the City's Sustainability Team by use of free
software such as EP A's Energy Star Portfolio Manager and through the
implementation of an Energy Management System which provides real-time
energy usage (see section on Monitoring). This could be used to produce the City's
Annual Report, another area of responsibility for the Sustainability Team.
. Develop an Environmentally Preferred Procurement Policy Manualj Central
Procurement System to be used by all appropriate departments and divisions.
While this may not reduce GHG emissions for the City, there are benefits at the
point of production. Preference should be given to products that have a lesser or
reduced effect on human health and the environment as compared to other
products such as low-toxicity, recycled content, low-waste and renewable materials
(unless costs are prohibitive or other environmental considerations are more
important). This preference should consider all phases of the product's life cycle,
including raw materials acquisition, production, manufacturing, packaging,
distribution, operation, maintenance, and disposal, including potential for reuse or
ability to be recycled. The Manual/System would include the following types of
products: [CA]

. Related to the Environmentally Preferred Procurement Policy as far as the GHG
impact to the City, the Sustainability Team should complete a review of the City's
purchases of commodities and based on anticipated purchasing needs and
volumes, prioritize its efforts to integrate environmental considerations into their
purchases. This should include determination of an appropriate and reputable
standard to avoid concerns of greenwashing.4 Such products could include the
following:
The more than 50 recycled content products designated by the US
Environmental Protection Agency (www.epa.gov/cpg).
The more than 35 energy-efficient products listed by the Energy Star program
(www.energystar.gov).
The biobased products designated by the US Department of Agriculture
(www.ars.usda.gov/bbcc).
Furniture purchases such as those with foam components that do not contain
CFC's or HCFCs and/ or wood products certified by the Forest Stewardship
Council whenever possible.
Hybrid electric or alternative fuel vehicles.
Landscaping products and services that are energy efficient and do not utilize
harmful pesticides.
Paint and painting services that utilize volatile organic compounds standards
such as Green Seal.

Determine the feasibility of pursuing a "green" certification for City offices.
Establish guidelines for businesses submitting proposals to do work with the
City such as preferred off-peak travel drop-off times for responses.
Develop a financial implementation strategy including grants, financing
districts and revolving loan funds for commercial and residential properties.
4.2 Community Engagement
The City of Boynton Beach intends to position itself as a pre-eminent resource in
South Florida for water and energy conservation, transportation efficiency, recycling
and green building practices and to raise public awareness of the benefits of green
living. First, to foster and build public commitment, the City will support a
community-wide public engagement campaign to educate, inspire and offer some of
the most cost-effective, healthy and easy solutions. The education effort will seek to
engage diverse partners and sectors of the community; create a shared community
vision, goals and progress indicators of a low-carbon future; connect individuals and
organizations to education, tools and resources; and celebrate positive changes and
successes. A fully engaged community is the key to success in dealing with climate
change. The 2006 GHG inventory indicates that 25 percent of all GHG emissions
result from residential energy, while non-industrial businesses account for another 21
percent. Of greater concern is the 48 percent is from transportation community-wide
which includes all vehicles traveling within city limits, personal and commercial.
Therefore, city residents and businesses are an essential part of the solution to
reducing GHG emissions.
A second key aspect of implementing the City's CAP will be creating opportunities
and events for the education of children, citizens and other communities to exchange
ideas on new approaches to managing energy consumption and GHG. Applied
education of citizens about steps they can take in their daily lives provides a simple
linkage between greater sustainability goals and the average person.

The Climate Action Plan
A successful community engagement/ education effort must tie together existing
efforts, develop new initiatives and forge a partnership between government and the
community. Reaching this objective requires cooperation among governments,
neighborhoods, schools, non-profit organizations, faith communities, businesses, civic
organizations and individual community members.
An annual update of the CAP's progress will ensure continued educational
opportunities for the community. By actively educating the community about the
existence of the CAP and providing resources for residents to educate themselves
about the benefits from its implementation, the City is providing multiple avenues for
the residents to engage.
Objective:
Motivate all Boynton Beach residents and businesses to adopt beneficial habits that
reduce GHG emissions.
Actions to Achieve the Objective:
· Place the CAP, and highlight its adoption, on the City's website, BBTV and in the
media. [CA]
· Design a marketing program to educate the public on the benefits of energy &
water efficiency and improved air quality. (BBTV PSA-type message to be
developed and aired.) [CA]
· Utilize existing programs such as "Cornmit2BFit" and "Bike to Work" week to
highlight the relationships between these initiatives and goals of the CAP such as
reduced greenhouse gas emissions related to less vehicle use.
· Use of City facilities, newsletters, the website, library programs, social media and
providing information through utility bills should all be considered in the cost-
effective development of the program.
· Demonstrations and signage in City Hall and partnerships with the library and
schools district will disseminate the messages to a greater audience.
· Continue to support assistance programs to low income households such as the
Federal Weatherization Assistance Program to increase educational opportunities
such as energy conservation at existing homes.
· Analyze and increase utilization of existing communications opportunities such as
newsletters, mailers, the City's marquee, utility bills, new resident packages, City
Services Institute and flyers/posters to communicate the City's CAP concepts.
[CA]. In particular, communicate the City's water conservation goals in its utility
bills. In particular, use the City's buildings as a mechanism to increase awareness of
the City's CAP and accomplishment of goals as well as an opportunity to educate
home and business owners about the benefits of going green.

Commerce, the business community and engage all its citizens, from the very
young to seniors, to assure it achieves a "cultural shift" embracing the concepts of
sustainability.
Actions to Achieve the Objective:
· Consider organizing individually or in partnerships with other local governments,
or the Greater Boynton Beach Chamber of Commerce, a "Green Event". rCA)

The Climate Action Plan
Models include the Florida Chamber of Commerce and the growth and climate
related events that they hold each year or the Palms West Chamber of Commerce
and their Florida Green, Energy & Climate Conference/Expo. This could increase
awareness of the CAP's implementation, increase exposure for vendors of local
green products and services and other common areas of interest.
· Develop a partnership with the Greater Boynton Beach Chamber of Commerce to
formulate a "green" certification program or "leadership council" to promote the
concepts of cost savings and reductions in GHG emissions from the business
community. Examples include Manatee County and the Green Business Leadership
Councilor Green Business Partners programs in Sarasota County. Develop a
training program for local businesses in conjunction with this initiative. [CA]
· Establish a local partnership to offer education, training and resources for
contractors and design professionals.
4.3 Fuel and Energy Use
The City's total emissions from the community in 2006 were about 930,000 MTC02e,
not including emissions from City operations. This includes GHG emissions from
electricity, natural gas, and fuel oil used in residential, commercial, and industrial
buildings, private vehicles traveling within City limits, and solid waste disposal. The
next largest source of emissions is electricity used in residential, commercial, and
industrial buildings.
To gather additional data to address City fuel and energy use, FPL has indicated their
willingness to conduct free energy audits of the top building/ facilities within City
Operations to benchmark existing usage and to recommend additional conservation
measures. City buildings can reduce their electrical costs by installing energy efficient
lighting, motion sensors, heat reflective window film, reflective roof coatings, and
upgrading HV AC systems and appliances to Energy Star. City water and wastewater
facilities can consider improved energy efficient pumps, operations and waste
treatment. In addition, FPL has offered rebates to the City for the implementation of
new energy efficient equipment and fixtures such as direct expansion AC systems,
ceiling or roof insulation, on-call AC, heat recovery unit or heat pump water heaters,
energy efficient lighting, energy recovery ventilation, chiller incentives, demand
control ventilation, high efficiency lighting and reflective roof paint. These retrofits
promote additional educational opportunities with homes and businesses and should
be highlighted on the City's website.
Many factors related to fuel and energy use are outside the control of the City. Two
examples are the amount of energy produced from renewable sources5 as well as
5 In 2007, Executive Order 07-127 was signed requesting the Public Service Commission
(PSC) to develop a renewable portfolio standard requiring utilities to produce 20 percent of
their energy from renewable sources. During the 2008 Regular Session, the Florida
Legislature amended Section 366.92, F.S., in HB 7135, Chapter 2008-227, Laws of Florida.
4-17
Section 4
The Climate Action Plan
vehicle fuel standards.6 Both are influenced at the national and state level through
multiple levels of policy and regulation. For instance, for the last three legislative
sessions, renewable energy standards have been proposed and failed to pass. While
the City may not be able to influence these other policy and regulatory issues, the City
can still formulate its own goals and implement policies and programs that conserve
fuel and energy use. In fact, Chapter 163, F.s. now requires the housing element of the
City's Comprehensive Plan to include standards, plans and principles to be followed
in the "use of renewable energy resources",?
The City could provide incentives to reduce energy use such as through the formation
of an energy financing district discussed in other sections. This tool allows home and
business owners to overcome the single largest hurdle in completing renewable
energy and energy efficiency projects which is the up front costs. Many of the
recommendations related to fuel and energy use overlap with the previous section on
Community Engagement and the discussion of implementation tools for the CAP.
In March 2008, the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) adopted rules for net
metering and interconnection of renewable-energy systems up to two megawatts
(MW) in capacity.s The net metering rule was intended to promote the development
and interconnection of customer-owned renewable generation, and minimize costs for
customers attempting to interconnect to their utility. It encourages the development of
renewable generation by: (1) expanding the size of eligible systems from 10 kW to 2
MW; (2) expanding the type of eligible systems from solely photovoltaic to all
renewable technologies; (3) expediting the interconnection of customer-owned
renewable generation; and (4) allowing customers to offset consumption through net
metering. The PSC rules apply only to the state's investor-owned utilities. Net
metering is available to customers who generate electricity using solar energy,
geothermal energy, wind energy, biomass energy, ocean energy, hydrogen, waste
heat or hydroelectric power.
Footnote 5 continued - The PSC was required to adopt rules to establish a renewable portfolio
standard (RPS), in consultation with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP)
and the Florida Energy and Climate Commission. The Draft rule, Rule 17.400, FAC. remains
unadopted and although numerous bills were filed in the 2010 legislative session, no bill
related to a renewable portfolio standard passed.

The Climate Action Plan
Objective:
Reduce energy use in existing and new construction and incentivize the use of
renewable/alternative energy sources. Develop a feasible target for renewable
energy production within the City for City operations and facilities by a certain
date.
Actions to Achieve the Objective:
. Develop financial, regulatory and policy incentives, and explore partnerships, for
development of energy efficiency and renewable energy projects and programs,
training and incentivizing green jobs and assisting local business through retention
and expansion. [CA].
. Identify City buildings and facilities appropriate for renewable energy projects
including street and parking lighting. Ensure involvement of the water and
wastewater utilities facilities in this effort. Seek grants and other funding
opportunities to implement renewable energy projects on City buildings or at City
facilities. Use retrofitted City facility projects as "demonstrations" to increase
awareness in the community.
. Assess vacant lands or other parcels appropriate to encourage the development of
alternative energy projects. Verify that code provisions do not inadvertently
discourage alternative energy projects. Seek partnerships with electric utilities for
siting renewable energy projects. Identify opportunities, such as solar photovoltaic
panels (PV), where a demand for manufacturing exists and develop an economic
incentive program to attract green businesses.
. Create incentives for renewable energy use in new construction. Define City and
Community standards for energy efficiency and renewable-energy criteria when
assessing the housing, commercial and transportation sectors. [CA]. Determine the
feasibility of achieving low or zero net GHG emissions in all new buildings and
homes. Such standards could include a renewable energy target for homes and
businesses or use of renewable energy in a certain amount of public facilities.
. Develop policies to ensure that new buildings and major remodels can adapt to the
changing climate with concepts including building floor elevation or requiring
electrical infrastructure is located at a higher level in the building.
. Explore an ESCO partnership as a possible opportunity for establishing a
measurement and verification system for existing energy use management in the
City and CRA buildings. [CA].
. Develop an ESCO energy performance contract (PC) request for proposal (RFP).
[CA] to avoid allocating capital dollars for energy retrofits on buildings and
facilities.

Section 4
The Climate Action Plan
. Support initiatives to increase the amount of, and access to, alternatively fueled
vehicle infrastructure such as fueling stations.
4.4 Transportation
The City has determined that it should take the lead on implementing many of the
transportation initiatives and strategies, and use what is learned from those internal
City activities to expand the programs into the general Boynton Beach Community.
Reducing vehicle miles traveled by increasing active forms of transportation such as
walking, bicycling and using transit produces significant community health and
economic benefits as well as achieving the goal of reducing GHG emissions.
Land use planning and transportation funding decisions greatly influence
transportation-related emissions. Similarly, commercial transportation is strongly
influenced by the location and availability of inter-modal options. For that reason,
transportation emissions reductions depend critically on coordinated land use policies
and the development of infrastructure for low-carbon modes of transportation.
Coordination with the Palm Beach County Metropolitan Planning Organization is
also critical to success.9
Along with more available infrastructure, individuals will make daily choices to walk,
bicycle, take transit or carpool whenever these options are practical. The CAP
proposes an approach for targeting community-wide reductions in this emissions
sector comprised of increasing the connectivity of existing transportation systems,
increasing the energy efficiency of transportation infrastructure and facilitating
greater use of alternatively fueled vehicles.
Through the use of improved bicycle and pedestrian modes of transportation,
"greening" of transportation infrastructure such as increasing the facilities needed to
serve alternatively fueled vehicles, the City is prioritizing quantifiable and visible
transportation strategies. The objective measure of these programs is reduction in
personal vehicle miles traveled (VMT), but achieving all the recommendations should
be the ultimate measure of success.
Objective:
Reduce per capita daily VMT each year for the next 20 years. [CA].
9 Palm Beach County is part of a regional planning effort titled the 2035 Southeast Florida
Regional Long Range Transportation Plan. The three Metropolitan Planning Organizations
(MPOs) in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade are coordinating their planning efforts to
obtain a combined tri-county 2035 planning forecast (www.seftc.org/tpl).

. The City should establish an integrated network of non-motorized transportation
corridors by including and utilizing existing rights of way that connect parks, linear
parks, greenways, canals and waterways to increase the non-motorized
transportation network.
. Identify any missing links in the network to ensure all City streets have sidewalks.
. Improve pedestrian continuity on downtown streets to decrease short trip
automobile use and iterative parking, increase transit viability and require less
parking.
. Provide or require bicycle and pedestrian ways for connecting residential areas to
recreational areas, schools, shopping areas and employment areas.
Promote bicycling and pedestrian facilities and incorporate the 11 complete
streets" concepts to accommodate the needs of different transportation modes
and users into the City's transportation plans. Accommodate automobiles,
transit vehicles and non-motorized forms of transportation.
Ensure a safe and comfortable environment for diverse users.

charging stations for alternatively fueled vehicles in redevelopment projects.
4-21
Section 4
The Climate Action Plan
Objective:
Determine current levels of citywide transit use and increase ridership.
Actions to Achieve the Objective:
. The City should monitor the South Florida East Coast Corridor StudylO (Study)
focusing on the eastern portions of the three counties, mainly along 1-95, U.s. 1 and
Old Dixie/Federal Highway. The Study objective is to relieve roadway congestion
along the roadways while providing the needed freight transport to the area. The
Study is also reviewing the potential for additional transit service along the
corridor that would provide connectivity to existing and proposed transit (Tri-Rail,
Metrorail, Miami streetcar, East-West Line in Broward).
. The City should create incentives to be implemented in the development approval
process for commercial projects that link directly to public transit alternatives such
as Tri-Rail.
. Develop City-Wide Multi-Modal Map that illustrates deficiencies and opportunities
related to transportation and land use integration. The City should work with
Palm Tran and private developers in increasing the transit modal split for all trips
and also work trips in the City of Boynton Beach [CA]
. City should coordinate with Palm Tran and other transit providers on the provision
and/ or enhancement of transit services that connect the City's western
communities with the downtown.
· City should increase opportunities for park and ride facilities as a means to
encourage greater use of transit and to increase opportunities for ridesharing.
. Continue work with the MPO, TCRPC and Boynton Beach Community
Redevelopment Agency on the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) plan to expand all
forms of water-based transportation.
4.5 Land Use and Development
4.5.1 Land Use
The Green Task Force and the Green Community Alliance, made very clear their
desire that the entire City be governed by If green" and If sustainable" policies that
support land use, landscaping, irrigation and sustainable construction and that these
policies should be included in the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development
Regulations (LDR). The City is largely built out and its best opportunities to impact
land use and development stem from redevelopment projects. The City has identified
two primary goals and objectives regarding land use and development. These are 1)

Section 4
The Climate Action Plan
the need for modification to the Comprehensive Plan; and 2) the need for
Green/Sustainable land development, site design criteria and incentives.
Strategically, the City should concentrate its efforts on redevelopment opportunities
and assuring that the land use pattern works effectively to reduce GHG emissions
from transportation. Connecting land uses so that people can reduce VMT will be a
key strategy to reduce community wide GHG emissions. Finally, the City will provide
innovative approaches for redevelopment opportunities that maximize flexibility in
land uses to achieve the CAP's goals.
The Florida Building Code is mandatory throughout the state and does not need to be
adopted by a local government to be applicable at the local level. In 2008, HB 697
passed measures requiring increases in the energy efficiency of the Florida Building
Code: 20 percent in 2010, 30 percent in 2013, 40 percent in 2016 and by 50 percent in
2019.11 Unfortunately, "local technical amendments" to the Florida Building Code
related to energy efficiency are prohibited under the "Florida Thermal Efficiency
Code" (Part V of Chapter 553, F.s.).12 This does not, however, prohibit voluntary
participation in "above-code" incentive-based programs. It also does not prevent a
local technical amendment from being adopted, requiring high water efficiency
fixtures and given the relationship between water and energy efficiency this is
something the City should consider.
Objective:
Develop and transmit Comprehensive Plan amendments to implement the CAP
and meet new Chapter 163, F.S. requirements to incorporate greenhouse gas
reduction strategies into specific elements.
Actions to Achieve the Objective:
Implementation of the CAP should include both a long-term and short-term
implementation strategy. The City's Comprehensive Plan is the long-term vision of the
community and can serve as a vehicle for implementing the CAP. Adoption of the
CAP also comes after the Florida Legislature passed legislation (HB697) requiring
GHG reduction strategies be incorporated into the Future Land Use, Transportation,
Conservation and Housing elements of a local government's Comprehensive Plan.
11 Section 553.9061 describes a schedule for increasing the thermal efficiency of buildings
subject to the Florida Energy Efficiency Code for Buildings. The first increase is 20 percent
over the 2007 version of the code (updated every 3 years); 2013 edition must be 30 percent
more energy efficient; 2016 edition must be 40 percent more energy efficient and 2019 edition
must be 50 percent more energy efficient.
12 Sections 553.904, F.S. (Thermal Efficiency Standards for new nonresidential buildings),
553.905, F.S. (new residential buildings), and 553.906, F.S. (renovated buildings) each contain
language that all buildings "shall not be required to meet standards more stringent than the
provisions of the Florida Energy Efficiency Code for Building Construction."
4-23
Section 4
The Climate Action Plan
These requirements are generally consistent with the intent of the CAP
recommendations and include the following:
. The future land use plan shall be based upon surveys, studies and data regarding
the area, including the discouragement of urban sprawl; energy efficient land use
patterns accounting for existing and future electric power generation and
transmission systems; and greenhouse gas reduction strategies. This will require
some level of coordination with power providers on future facilities.
. Transportation strategies to address reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from
the transportation sector, Section 163.3177(6)(b) F.5. There is no explicit
requirement for supporting data and analysis regarding GHG emissions.
. In the Conservation Element of the Comprehensive Plan, Section 163.3177(6)(d),
F.5. factors that affect energy conservation must be included and the Section
requires the land use map or map series contained in the future land use element
to generally identify and depict" energy conservation" .
. The housing element shall consist of standards, plans, and principles to be
followed in energy efficiency in the design and construction of new housing and
the use of renewable energy sources. In Sections 163.3177(6)(f)h. and i., FS. there
are no definition of standards, and principles for energy efficiency in new
construction or use of renewable energy sources.
While the City of Boynton Beach's Comprehensive Plan already includes goals,
objectives and policies that address many of these requirements, the development of
the CAP and GHG Inventory were completed subsequent to those amendments;
therefore, other amendments could be included to further address the CAP's
recommendations. Additionally, the Department of Community Affairs is in the
rulemaking process revising Rule 9J-5, F.A.C. to address the requirements of HB 697
(Draft HB 697 Implementation Rule). Before final amendments to the Comprehensive
Plan are developed, the status of the adoption of this rule should be determined to
ensure the most current rule language is applied.
Recommendations to Comply with HB 697
Future Land Use Element:
. The land use map or map series contained in the future land use element should
be amended to generally identify and depict energy conservation.
. Update the data and analysis discussion to include information from the GHG
Inventory related to emissions data from various sectors.
. Include efficient use of energy conservation as one of the resources and services to
address in Objective 1.8

Transportation Element:
. Update the data and analysis in the Support Document to include data related to
transportation sector GHG emissions data at the Communitywide and City fleet
levels.
. Update the data and analysis in the Support Document to include the CAP
recommendation pertaining to identification of missing links in sidewalk
networks and establishing an integrated network of non-motorized transportation
corridors such as rights of way, linear parks, greenways, canals and waterways.
. Include a policy to implement recommendations in the CAP related to increasing
opportunities for park and ride facilities and alternatively fueled vehicle charging
stations. For instance this policy could be added under Objective 2.8 relating to
reduction of energy consumption.
Conservation Element:
. Include an Objective and Policies to address implementation of strategies for
conserving natural-area features. This could be done be creating a new Objective
and Policy section or updating Objectives 4.5 and 4.6 to address these strategies.
. Establish an urban forestry program to develop City-wide tree canopy survey with
the eventual goal of reducing the "heat island" effect due to dark or asphalt
surfaces.
Housing Element:
. Include discussion of the City's Green Building Program for energy efficiency in
the design and construction of new housing and the use of renewable energy
sources.
. Include a policy to promote partnerships with the City of Boynton Beach
Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) in programs to retrofit and upgrade
properties.

The Climate Action Plan
. Include a policy pertaining to development of a residential energy retrofitting
(" qualifying improvements") program.
Additional Potential Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan
Based on the CAP
Because the Comprehensive Plan is long-term in nature, other recommendations of
the CAP could be implemented by revising other Elements of the Plan that are not
limited to those included in the HB 697 legislation. To assure principles and
recommendations are included throughout the Comprehensive Plan, the following
additional amendments could be considered (by requisite Element of the
Comprehensive Plan):
Utilities Element:
. Amend the Sanitary Sewer Sub-Element to include concepts under Objective 3A.6
related to consideration of energy audits for wastewater facilities and integrating
renewable energy resources where appropriate.
Coastal Element:
. Revise Policy 7.1.4 to require construction in accordance with the 2007 version of
the Florida Building Code.
Intergovernmental Coordination Element:
. Add a policy promoting the City's partnerships with other municipalities, TCRPC,
MPO, Palm Beach County and other local governments related to the CAP's
recommenda tions.
. Add a policy that promotes coordination with the efforts of the Southeast Florida
Regional Climate Change Compact.
. The City should continue and enhance partnerships with the TCRPC on regional
land use plans incorporating climate change adaptation, VMT and increased
energy efficiency. For instance, coordinate the City's Comprehensive Plan review
and revision to incorporate the CAP consistent with the TCRPC s document
"Energy Planning in the Twenty-First Century, A Guide for Florida Communities,"
December 2009 (www.tcrpc.org/ departments/ energy.htrnl).
Capital Improvements Element:
. Add a policy that requires the City to coordinate the annual review of the CAP
with the Capital Improvements planning process to capture new opportunities for
funding the CAP's energy saving recommendations.
Optional Element of Comprehensive Plan
The City should consider adoption of a new element of the Comprehensive Plan,
pursuant to Section 163.3177, F.s., an "Energy Conservation Element" to capture most

of the remaining CAP recommendations. Many local governments across the state are
addressing energy conservation, including related issues pertaining to climate change
and the resulting impacts, in an optional element of their respective Comprehensive
Plans. The City's Sustainability Team will provide recommendations as to the scope
of material to be covered in this optional element and its Support Document.
4.5.2 Sustainable Construction
Objective:
Revise the LDR as needed for policy and short term land development decision-
making that supports the Climate Action Plan.
Actions to Achieve the Objective:
. Govern the City by "green" or "sustainable" Land Development Regulations with
different "tiers" (for example, for single family, multi-family, commercial) of design
criteria to provide a variety of incentives to landowners/ developers. More
"intense" incentives are reserved only for parts of the City that are designated for
high density and intense redevelopment. [CA]
. Review its land development regulations to determine the feasibility of using land
use and parking strategies that reduce reliance on automobiles including but not
limited to strategic reductions in parking supply, encouraging short term over long
term parking, promotion of park-and-ride and bike-and-ride areas and shared
parking facilities.
. Identify land use categories and zoning districts where alternative energy projects
are an allowable use. Ensure land development regulations comply with Section
163.04, F.5. in that property owners cannot be denied (nor can condominium
associations restrictors prohibit) solar collectors, clotheslines or other energy
devices from renewable resources. Similarly, Section 718.113(6) F.5. allows the
board of administration of a condominium the authority to install upon or within
the common elements or association property of a condominium solar collectors,
clotheslines, or other energy efficient devices based on renewable resources for the
benefit of owners.
. Create an incentive for projects that includes a "20-Minute Complete
Neighborhoods" approach whereby residents can safely walk a relatively short
distance from home to most of the destinations and services they use every day.
This could require development applicants to submit a list of neighborhood
services within a 20 Minute walking distance from their project such as:
Neighborhood oriented commercial
Restaurants
Drug stores

. Develop process and land development standards:
Establish a recognition program for new construction and renovation, feature
on website and social networking including signage for projects achieving
rating.
Applications for buildings over a commission-determined square footage
threshold shall include a building design and construction commissioning
plan and shall be commissioned by a qualified commissioning agent to meet
the owner's project requirements.
All new commercial and multi-family construction shall include recycling
facilities for non-hazardous materials including paper, glass, metal and plastic
products.
. The following design principles should be applied to residences of three stories or
less, additions13, and renovations14 to existing residential buildings; new heating,
cooling, and water heating systems in existing buildings; and site-added
components of manufactured homes and buildings.
Include standard building code provisions in the land development
regulations encouraging green roof or "white roof" incentives and targets,
shading of parking lots with native vegetation, pervious pavement, flat
roofing with reflective standards and providing more insulation than the
minimum.
Ensure land development regulations facilitate and promote site design
criteria allowing for the easy and cost-effective installation of solar energy
systems with techniques such as:
13 An extension or increase in conditioned floor area or height of a building or structure.
14 Any structural repair, reconstruction or restoration to a structure, the costs of which equals or
exceeds, over a one-year period, a cumulative total of 30 percent of the assessed value of the
structure when that value is assessed, either:
Before the improvement or repair is started; or
Before the damage occurred, if the structure has been damaged.
For the purposes of this code, renovation occurs when the first alteration of any wall,
ceiling, floor, or other structural part or mechanical system of the building commences,
whether or not that alteration affects the external dimensions of the structure.

Section 5
Overcoming Challenges to Implementation
While it is clear the State and Federal regulatory frameworks related to energy use,
efficiency and climate change have evolved quickly, it is safe to assume that reporting
requirements and reductions in emissions will be a reality. One of the challenges to
implementing the CAP is this rapidly changing regulatory landscape. Additionally,
with the evolution of increasing regulation comes the sometimes unintended effect of
"competing" policy goals. One example is the state's effort to increase the amount of
water a utility uses from alternative sources of supply such as withdrawals from the
Floridan Aquifer. This requires utilization of reverse osmosis technology to treat
potable water which is the most energy-intensive method of treatment currently in
use. Another example is the use of reclaimed water. Current federal intentions to
control the amount of nutrients discharged to surface water (Numerical Nutrient
Criteria) may stifle future efforts to use reclaimed water even though water supply
decisions have been made assuming its implementation.
Changing attitudes and habits will be critical because much of the reduction in GHG
emissions must come from the community. Community engagement and education
are essential to this effort by drawing the relationship between climate change,
behavior changes, environmental benefits and cost savings. Changing engrained
habits will take time. Achieving small measures of success through small actions like
turning lights off, recycling, using compact fluorescent lights (CFL) rather than
incandescent lights, reducing vehicle miles traveled, walking, taking the bus or Tri-
Rail rather than driving, will require significant encouragement and reinforcement.
While these issues provide real challenges, the overriding challenge will be funding.
For this reason, CDM recommends that the City fund its CAP efforts through the
following sources:
. Energy Service Company (ESCO) and Performance Contracting (PC)
. Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE)
. Private investment partnerships
. Clean renewable Energy Bonds (CREBs)
. Qualified Energy Conservation Bonds (QECBs)
. Renewal and Replacement Funds
. Grants

Section 5
Overcoming Challenges to Implementation
Energy Services Company (ESCO): An ESCO is a professional business that
provides a broad range of comprehensive energy solutions including designs and
implementation of energy savings projects, energy conservation, energy infrastructure
outsourcing, power generation and energy supply, and risk management. There are
ten ESCOs in Florida that have been approved by Florida Department of Management
Services for work with the State of Florida. ESCOs in Florida are established by law
under Chapter 489.145 F.s. (Guaranteed Energy Savings Contracting Act). An ESCO
performs an in-depth analysis of property, designs an energy efficient solution,
installs the required elements and maintains the system to ensure energy savings
during the payback period. The contracting mechanism is called performance
contracting (PC). The savings in energy costs are used to pay back the capital
investment of the project over a five to twenty-year period, or reinvested into the
building to allow for capital upgrades that may otherwise be unfeasible. If the project
does not provide returns on the investment, the ESCO is responsible to pay the
difference. Energy savings are guaranteed.
Property Assessed Clean Energy or "PACE": This approach voluntarily allows
property owners and businesses to finance energy efficient retrofits, water efficient
retrofits and/ or renewable energy projects on private property. Known as House Bill
7179, this program allows any municipality or county in Florida to establish aPACE
program that can stimulate local economies. PACE programs involve a local
government raising capital by various means and providing funds to willing property
owners secured by a non-ad valorem assessment on private property. The PACE
program is intended for energy improvements such as Solar Photo Voltaic (PV)
systems, high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) Heating, Ventilation and Air
Conditioning (HV AC) systems, insulation, water conservation and wind resistance.
There is wide latitude for local governments to form their own programs or partner
through interlocal agreements. The loan is typically repaid by the property owner
over a long term (e.g., 10-20 years) as an item on the property owner's tax bill.
Property owners voluntarily enter into assessment agreements with the local
government will be subject to the payment of assessments.
Private Investment Partnerships (PIP): A PIP with local banks may go hand-in-hand
with PACE programs if a property owner selects bank financing as most desirable
funding for a project. PIP may also be possible between local vendors who would like
to offer rebate/ discount programs and citizens who participate in the incentives for
the Green Building Program.
Clean Renewable Energy Bonds (CREBs): CREBs may be used by public sector
entities to finance renewable energy projects. CREBs are issued with a zero percent
interest rate. The borrower pays back the principal of the bond, and the bondholder
receives federal tax credits in lieu of the traditional bond interest. CREBs differ from
traditional tax-exempt bonds because CREB tax credits are treated as taxable income
for the bondholder. The maximum term of a CREB is approximately 15 years.
Government entities (states, cities, counties, territories, Indian tribal governments or
any political subdivision) are able to issue CREBs.

The list of qualifying technologies includes:
. Wind (wind turbines)
. Closed-loop biomass
. Open-loop biomass
. Geothermal
. Solar (PV and passive hot water)
. Small Irrigation Power
. Municipal Solid Waste
. Qualified Hydropower Production
. Marine & Hydrokinetic Renewable Energy
Qualified Energy Conservation Bonds (QECBs): QECBs may be used by state and
local governments to finance certain types of energy projects. QECBs are qualified tax
credit bonds, and in this respect are similar to CREBs. QECBs must be issued for a
"qualified conservation purpose" such as reducing energy consumption in publicly-
owned buildings by at least 20 percent. They can also be used for implementing
green community programs, wind facilities, closed-loop biomass facilities, open-loop
biomass facilities, geothermal facilities, solar energy facilities, small irrigation power
facilities, qualified hydropower facilities, landfill gas facilities, marine and
hydrokinetic renewable energy facilities, and trash combustion facilities.
The advantage of QECBs is that they are theoretically issued with a zero percent
interest rate. The borrower pays back only the principal of the bond. The bondholder
receives federal tax credits in lieu of the traditional bond interest. The tax credit may
be taken quarterly to offset the tax liability of the bondholder.
Renewal and Replacement (R&R) funds: R&R funds can be used to replace old
equipment with newer energy efficient equipment. Old Air Conditioning (AC)
equipment, lighting, pumps, motors and blowers can be replaced with high-energy
efficiency ones. Low fuel efficiency vehicles can be replaced with high fuel efficiency,
alternative fuel, or electric vehicles.

Overcoming Challenges to Implementation
Grants: Many funding programs require certain policies to already be in place before
an applicant can qualify, such as green building provisions. A significant benefit to
having a CAP is that when grant funding opportunities become available, the City
will be able to quantify the benefits of implementing projects and programs. Energy
audits conducted pursuant to CAP recommendations can be used to prioritize actual
projects that can be funded with grants. The City then will be able to apply quickly
because it already has a CAP in place.

Section 6
Monitoring
Monitoring of energy savings is key to determining progress towards the City's goal
of an 18 percent GHG emissions reduction. For monitoring CDM recommends the use
of Energy Star Portfolio Manager, a free software program from the EP A. Portfolio
Manager is an interactive energy management tool that will allow the City to track
and assess both water and energy usage across an entire portfolio of City buildings. It
is recommended that this monitoring program be carried out utilizing data from the
proposed Energy Management System for buildings and facilities. The Portfolio
Manager program will verify energy efficiency improvements and identify under-
performing buildings. The U.s. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has designed
the program to perform the following:
. Monitor energy and water costs
. Track multiple energy and water meters for each facility
. Customize meter names and key information
. Benchmark facilities relative to their past performance
. View percent improvement in weather-normalized source energy
. Share building data with others inside the City
Portfolio Manager calculates a building's GHG emissions (including C02, CH4, and
N20) from purchased electricity. The emissions calculations are based on the amount
of energy a building consumes. The methodology for calculating GHG emissions in
Portfolio Manager was designed to be consistent with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol
developed by theW odd Resources Institute and World Business Council for
Sustainable Development, and is compatible with the EP A's Climate Leaders
program.
Energy performance on a scale of 1-100 relative to similar buildings nationwide can
be determined using Portfolio Manager. A building is not compared to the other
buildings in Portfolio Manager to determine an ENERGY STAR rating. Instead,
statistically representative models are used to compare a City building against similar
buildings from a national survey conducted by the Department of Energy's Energy
Information Administration. This national survey, known as the Commercial Building
Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS), is conducted every four years by EP A. It
gathers data on building characteristics and energy use from buildings across the
United States. A building's peer group is a group of buildings in the CBECS survey
that have similar operating characteristics. A rating of 50 indicates that the building
performs better than 50 percent of all similar buildings nationwide from an energy

consumption standpoint. A rating of 75 indicates that the building performs better
than 75 percent of all similar buildings nationally.
Portfolio Manager can be used to generate a Statement of Energy Performance for
each building, summarizing important energy information and building
characteristics such as site and source energy intensity, C02 emissions, gross floor
area and number of personal computers.

CAP as a Living Document
The CAP has been developed at a snapshot in time knowing that a multitude of
changes is ahead of the City between now and the year 2035. This CAP is the first
installment of the City's efforts in what will be an ongoing planning and adaptation
effort to effectively address climate change and its affect on the City and its
community. The City looks forward to continued conversation with and
recommendations by the residents and businesses of the community about what
measures may make the most sense. Technological change is occurring almost daily
and alternative energy is rapidly evolving. Regional plans for water, Everglades
restoration and regional transportation are still in the process of development. The
goal of 18 percent reduction in GHG emissions for City operations will take place over
the next 25 years on the palette of many global, national and regional changes.
For these reasons, the City staff sees the CAP as a living document that will evolve
with the science, technology, policies, engineering and economy of the times. The
State of Florida and the federal government will eventually become engaged. While
we wait for this to happen, the City will continue to demonstrate its leadership and
partnership with other communities in the efforts to adapt to our changing climate
and achieve a sustainable future for its residents.

Appendix A
Glossary of Terms and Acronyms
A.I Terms and Definitions
Alternative energy: energy derived from non-
traditional sources. These include solar,
hydroelectric, wind and compressed natural gas.
Differs from renewable energy in that it may
include fossil fuels such as compressed natural gas
which increases carbon emissions but produces
fewer emissions than sources such as coal (see
below).
Biofuel: liquid or gas fuel made from plant
material. May include wood, ethanol, vegetable
oils, municipal solid waste, and landfill gas.
Carbon footprint: a measure of the impact human
activities have on the environment in terms of the
amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured
in units of carbon dioxide. Carbon footprints are
typically lifecycle assessments focused on GHG
(greenhouse gas) emissions, meaning they look at
the GHG emissions from cradle to grave of product
or service. It is meant to be useful for individuals
and organizations to conceptualize their impact in
contributing to climate change.
Carbon dioxide (CO 2): an odorless, colorless gas
that is a normal component of ambient air. Carbon
dioxide is a product of fossil fuel combustion. It
traps infrared radiation and contributes to global
warming.
Carbon dioxide equivalent (C02e): the conversion
of all GHGs to equivalent carbon dioxide weights
using global warming potentials. The equivalents
are usually expressed in terms of metric tons.
Climate Action Plan (CAP): the evaluation of
sources of GHGE and the actions planned to
reduce those emissions.
Climate Change: while climate refers to an average
weather pattern, climate change generally refers to
all changes in climate patterns and inconsistencies
COM
AA T134 __App A.docx
(temperature, precipitation, wind, tropical
disturbance) including both natural and
anthropogenic changes that last for an extended
period (decades or longer).
Commissioning: a systematic process of ensuring
that all of a building's energy related systems are
installed, calibrated, and perform according to the
design intent and the owner's operational and
project requirements.
Commissioning plan: identifies the scope,
strategies, and responsibilities of all of the team
members for each phase of a project. It includes the
overall process, schedule, organization,
responsibilities and documentation for the
commissioning process.
Energy: the capacity for doing work. Electrical
energy is measured in kilowatt hours (KWh). It
differs from power in that power is the rate at
which work is performed. Power is energy divided
by time (KW).
Energy audit: an analysis of energy usage within a
building/ facility that will enable identification and
development of modifications that will reduce the
energy use and/ or cost of operating a building or
process. The results are presented in a format that
will provide the information needed by an
owner / operator to decide if any, some or all of the
recommended modifications should be
implemented.
Energy Services Company (ESCO): an energy
service company (acronym: ESCO or ESCo) is a
professional business providing a broad range of
comprehensive energy solutions including designs
and implementation of energy savings projects,
energy conservation, energy infrastructure
outsourcing, power generation and energy supply,
and risk management. The ESCO performs an in-

depth analysis of the property, designs an energy
efficient solution, installs the required elements,
and maintains the system to ensure energy savings
during the payback period. The savings in energy
costs is often used to pay back the capital
investment of the project over a five- to twenty-
year period, or is reinvested into the building to
allow for capital upgrades that may otherwise not
be feasible. If the project does not provide returns
on the investment, the ESCO is responsible for
paying the difference.
Fossil fuel: combustible geologic deposits of
organic materials formed from buried and
decomposed plants and animals that have been
converted to oil, coal, and natural gas.
Global Warming Potential (GWP): a relative
measure of a GHG's potential to contribute to
global warming. The GWP provides the ratios used
in the calculation of carbon dioxide equivalents. By
definition, the GWP of carbon dioxide is 1. The
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) published the fourth assessment report
including GWPs for various GHGs in 2007. For
example, the GWP of methane is 23 which means
that it is 23 times as powerful as carbon dioxide in
causing global warming.
Greenhouse Gases (GHGs): gases present in the
earth's atmosphere which reduce the loss of heat
into space and therefore contribute to global
temperatures through the greenhouse effect.
Greenhouse gases include water vapor, carbon
dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide,
hydrochlorofluorocarbons, ozone,
hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulfur
hexafluoride.
Greenhouse Effect: The build-up of heat in the
troposphere near the surface of the Earth where all
weather occurs. The troposphere contains
approximately 95 percent of the air in the Earth' s
atmosphere. Heat reflected back into space from
the Earth's surface is absorbed by carbon dioxide
and other greenhouse gases causing a rise in the
temperature of the troposphere eventually
resulting in global warming.
1-2
Green Roofs: rooftops planted with vegetation
usually with a soil base.
Greenwashing: a deceptive practice of green
marketing; the practice of companies falsely
spinning their products and company policies as
environmentally friendly when the primary
objective is to save money, obscure
environmentally-damaging practices and provide
an advertising advantage.
Heat Island Effect: the heating of urban areas in
comparison with rural areas due to a
predominance of asphalt, concrete and waste heat.
LEED: Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design green-building rating system developed by
the US Green Building Council (USGBC) that
provides a suite of standards for environmentally
sustainable construction.
Metric Tons (MT): also known as tonnes.
Greenhouse gas regulations, emission factors, and
reporting are done in units of metric tons as oppose
to tons or "short tons." One metric ton equals
1.1023 tons or 2205 pounds.
Renewable energy: energy from sources that are
not exhaustible such as wood, solid waste,
geothermal, wind, and photo voltaic. Renewable
fuel sources are defined on a state-by-state basis.
Sustainable development: development that meets
the needs of the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their own
needs
Sustainability: The traditional definition is meeting
the needs of the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their own
needs. The term was first used by the Brundtland
Commission of the United Nations (www.un-
documents.net/ocf-02.htm) in a document "Our
Common Future, Chapter 2, Towards Sustainable
Development" and expressed a truly global
perspective on development. Sustainable
development inherently requires meeting the basic
needs of all and providing to all the opportunity to
COM
AATl34 App A.docx
satisfy their aspirations for a better life. Economic
growth is required in places where essential needs
are not being met provided growth meets the
principles of sustainability. The use of non-
renewable resources like fossil fuels and minerals
should be calibrated to ensure that these resources
do not run out before acceptable substitutes are
found. Sustainable development means that the
negative impacts on the quality of air, water and
other natural systems are minimized in order to
sustain the overall ecosystem's viability. The
concept of sustainability also has come to be
referred to as the "triple bottom line" (see
definition below). The 1970 National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) formally
established sustainability as a national goal
through the creation and maintenance of
conditions through which society and nature can
"exist in productive harmony, and fulfill the social,
economic and other requirements of present and
future generations of Americans"
(www.epa.gov/sustainability/index.htm).
Sustainability recognizes the need to support a
growing economy while reducing the social and
economic costs of economic growth. It reflects the
trade-off between business and the environment
and acknowledges the relationship between them.
EP A has also developed a program called "People,
Prosperity and the Planet (3P)" the title of which
embodies the concept of sustainability.
Transit Modal Split: describes the percentage of
travelers using a particular type of transportation
such a walking, cycling, bus, private vehicle, etc.
Triple bottom line: The sustainability of any
activity is influenced by the three inter-related and
inter-dependent dimensions of the triple bottom
line - economic growth, social responsibility and
environmental stewardship. Although these
include a vast array of diverse components, the
"triple bottom line" sustainability framework is an
organizing principle.
Vehicle miles traveled (VMT): one vehicle
traveling the distance of one mile. Total vehicle
miles are the total mileage traveled by vehicles
within a designated area.

Proposed Elements
1. ENERGY CONSERVATION, EFFICIENCY AND ATMOSPHERIC QUALITY - The
purpose of this section will be to reduce energy consumption of building. It is recommended
that this section provide options for compliance that are both prescriptive (defined direction)
and performance based (verification that the intended outcome has been met). This will allow
designers and contractors the greatest level of flexibility in determining the most cost efficient
way to meet the intent of the program. Final certification of the overall Green House Gas
Emissions (GHGE) reduction will be a requirement of compliance.
This section will encourage the use of renewable energy options as an effective way to reduce
overall GHG emissions. It will require periodic monitoring and reporting of how effectively the
systems are meeting the goal. It is recommended that the EnergyStar Portfolio software! be
established as the standard for benchmarking and tracking.
The program will encompass several areas, including:
Total annual net energy use (T ANEU): buildings of 25,000 square feet (sq ft) or greater will be
required to document and verify energy usage annually, including C02 emission reductions.
Building Energy Management and Control Systems (EMCS): for buildings of 25,000 sq ft for greater
to assure peak efficiency in all operating modes.
Building Envelope Systems: to assure proper thermal envelope for greatest energy efficiency.
Building Electrical Power and Lighting Systems: to include energy efficient appliances and
equipment (ENERGY STAR certified), occupancy and daylight sensors, as well as high

Appendix C
Recommendations for Revisions to the
Code of Ordinances
Implementation of the CAP is recommended on both a long-term and short-term
implementation strategy. The Code of Ordinances and Land Development
Regulations (collectively "Code") is the short-term mechanism for implementing the
CAP. Appendix B of this CAP includes recommendations for a Green Building
Ordinance to incorporate green building principles into the Land Development
Regulations, but Appendix C contains potential Code revisions that implement non-
building related and administrative recommendations of the CAP. By codifying the
CAP's recommendations, the City can assure integration of the CAP concepts and
principles into its day-to-day decision-making. Recommended areas for review and
revision to the Code include the following:
Administration:
1. Revise Part 1, Chapter 2, Article I or II of the Code to include a description of the
role, mission and purpose of the City's Sustainability Team. Revisions could
include a description of the meeting structure and a process to recommend and
evaluate policies and programs for City Commission consideration.
2. Potential revisions should be developed in Part II, Chapter 8 related to Economic
Development to ensure coordination of the CAP recommendations with the
Community Redevelopment Agency and business community. The goal would be
to develop incentives for the location of green businesses within the City
consistent with the CAP's recommendations.
3. City Advisory Boards, referenced in Part II, Chapter 12, should be coordinated to
assure the City is maximizing public information and educational opportunities
related to the CAP's awareness.
4. The City Advisory Boards should be briefed on the CAP recommendations and
efforts by the City to integrate energy and water efficiency and/ or renewable
energy projects into City operations and facilities. Further, an energy efficiency
section for operations and procurement could be added to the Code of
Ordinances.
5. Review Part II, Chapter 2, Article V. of the Code regarding Code Compliance to
determine if there are any opportunities to create incentives for the approval of, or
retrofitting for, green building projects (such as use of the lien reduction
procedure) as feasible and appropriate. Upon adoption of the Green Building
Code, the Code Compliance Board should be briefed on the new provisions.
C-1
Appendix C
Recommendations for Revisions to Code of Ordinances
Operations:
1. Revise Part II, Chapter 2, Article IV to add the Environmentally Preferred
Procurement recommendations developed by the City's Sustainability Team
described under the " Actions to Administer the City's Climate Action Plan"
Section of the CAP. There are several model ordinances establishing
Environmentally Preferred Procurement policies that the Sustainability Team can
review to develop its recommendations for any necessary Code revisions. The
Sustainability Team should also make recommendations on language addressing
energy efficiency operations and building management priorities to reduce energy
costs. City fleet recommendations from the CAP should also be integrated into
purchasing policies as well.
2. Part II, Chapter 10, Articles I-IV should be reviewed by the Sustainability Team to
add recommendations from the CAP related to solid waste GHG reductions,
composting, recycling and City operations for waste management. In particular,
ensure maximum recycling by residential, multi-family and commercial sectors by
adopting relevant targets in the City's Land Development Regulations. This
section should also be reviewed for consistency with HB 7243 (2010 Session)
amending Chapter 403, F.s. related to recycling.
3. The City should encourage Palm Beach County to improve traffic signalization
and synchronization within the City to reduce vehicle idling time and reduce
GHG emissions from its largest sector.
4. In Part II, Chapter 15, Article IX, the Sustainability Team should review this
section to verify that Florida-Friendly landscaping and other CAP
recommendations related to landscaping are encouraged and not inadvertently
prohibited. This section should also be updated to reflect CAP recommendations
related to landscape irrigation.
5. If the City pursues a "qualifying improvements" program pursuant to Section
163.08, F.s., Part II, Chapter 23 would then likely have to be revised with an
enabling ordinance.
6. Part II, Chapter 26 related to Water, Sewer, and City Utilities should be reviewed
by the Sustainability Team to integrate water conservation, water efficiency
building standards, irrigation, energy efficiency and auditing recommendations
from the CAP.
7. The appropriate Section of Part III, Land Development Regulations, should be
updated to reflect new requirements of Chapter 255, F.s. which states that public
buildings must be constructed according to a third party" green" building rating
system such as the Florida Green Building Coalition.

Executive Summary
CDM conducted a comprehensive greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory for the City of
Boynton Beach, Florida (City) as part of the Department of Energy's (DOE) Energy
Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program. The GHG inventory included
sources from city operations and from the community of Boynton Beach in calendar
year 2006.
CDM used the Clean Air Climate Protection Software from ICLEI: Local Governments
for Sustainability which is compliant with the Local Governments Operations
Protocol (LGOP). City operations data was collected with the help of City staff and
community-wide data was collected directly from outside vendors such as Florida
Power and Light (FPL), Florida Public Utilities (FPU), Boynton Beach Community
Redevelopment Agency (CRA), Palm Tran, and Tri-Rail.
The total GHG emissions from city operations in 2006 is about 29,300 metric tons of
carbon dioxide equivalent (C~e). Over half of the City's GHG emissions from city
operations come from the water utilities sector, which includes electricity
consumption and process emission from water and wastewater treatment. The
overall community of Boynton Beach, including GHG emissions from residential,
commercial, and industrial buildings, transportation, and solid waste disposal
sources, emitted about 931,300 metric tons of C~e, not including emissions from city
operations. With city operations included, the entire City emitted 960,600 metric tons
of C02e. Overall, the largest source of emissions from the community-wide inventory
is from vehicles traveling within the City. Residents of Boynton Beach emitted 14
metric tons of C02e per capita which is far fewer emissions on a per capita basis
compared to others in Florida, and the US which emitted 19 and 24 metric tons of
C02e respectively. The City may use this baseline to measure the progress of GHG
reduction actions in the future.
In addition to creating a baseline GHG emissions inventory, three forecast scenarios
were established based on the best information available to provide conservative,
reasonable estimates for future emissions of city operations:
· Scenario 1: Business as Usual; based on population trends, adopted rules,
legislation, and policy since 2006.
· Scenario 2: The U.s. Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement; which calls for cities to
reduce their GHG emissions at least 7% from 1990 levels by 2012.
· Scenario 3: Pending and Non-binding Florida administrative rules and legislation;
including theGovernor's Executive Order 07-127, the proposed renewable
portfolio standard, and the results of the City's employee transportation survey.
The gap between the forecasted Scenario 1 and Scenario 3 GHG emission levels
illustrate what reductions the City may expect to be required to achieve should future
iii
CDIUI
regulation be adopted. The difference between these two scenarios is 3% in 2012,13%
in 2025, and 18% in 2035.
The City may choose to achieve reductions in the electricity sector because lowering
GHG emissions from electricity may have the best monetary payback. If the City
choose to the achieve GHG reduction between Scenario 1 and Scenario 3 by reducing
electricity use only, electricity would need to be reduced 3% by 2012, 17% by 2025,
and 25% by 2035. If the City chose to make a 10% reduction in vehicle fuel use as
well, electricity would then only need to be reduced 2% by 2012, 16% by 2025, and
23% by 2035.

Introduction
COM conducted a comprehensive greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory for the City of
Boynton Beach, Florida (City) as part of the DOE's Energy Efficiency and
Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program. The GHG inventory is for calendar year
2006 and included sources from both city operations and from the community of
Boynton Beach. 2006 was chosen as a baseline year for the City because it was
considered a normal, or more representative, year, with no major hurricanes or
storms that would interrupt normal operations and skew emissions results. The
community-wide inventory includes GHG emissions from within Boynton Beach city
limits, such as from residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, public
transportation, private vehicles, and solid waste disposal. Table 1 outlines the full list
of GHG sources included in the 2006 GHG inventory.

The 2006 GHG inventory establishes a baseline to measure the energy use and GHG
emissions from the City of Boynton Beach. This report outlines the major sources of
GHG emissions from both city operations and the community of Boynton Beach,
which may help inform decisions regarding future GHG reduction actions.

Section 2
2006 Baseline GHG Inventory
Methodology
2.1 Protocols
The Local Government Operations Protocol For Quantification and Reporting of Greenhouse
Gas Inventories (LGOP)1 was created to provide a transparent and consistent structure
for local governments to conduct GHG inventories. It advises on the typical sources
of GHG emissions considering the structure of local governments, as opposed to
corporations or industrial operations. The LGOP is published by The Climate Registry
(TCR), a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that was formed with the intent of
improving the consistency and accuracy of GHG emissions reporting in North
America. TCR is subscribed to by 41 U.s. states (including Florida), 11 Canadian
provinces and six Mexican states, and currently provides the leading unifying GHG
inventory guidance in North America. A partnership of TCR, the California Air
Resources Board, the California Climate Action Registry, and ICLEI _ Local
Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI) developed the LGOP. CDM used the ICLEI
Clean Air and Climate Protection (CACP) software to conduct the city operations
2006 GHG inventory. The most recent version of the CACP software is compliant
with the LGOP.
The CACP software was also used for the community-wide 2006 GHG inventory;
however there is not yet a nationally recognized protocol for conducting community-
wide GHG inventories. This is important to keep in mind when comparing Boynton
Beach's results to other communities (see Section 3). To conduct the community-
wide GHG inventory, CDM followed the best practices, extensive experience, and
recommendations from the LGOP to supplement the CACP software.
2.2 Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sources
Figure llists the six GHGs regulated under the Kyoto Protocol which are widely
accepted as the main causes of climate change, along with example emissions sources.
These GHGs are: carbon dioxide (C02), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N20),
hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6).
As shown in Figure 1, the primary sources of GHG emissions are the combustion of
fossil fuels which release C02., C~ and N20; releases of CRt and N20 from biological
processes; releases of HFCs, PFCs from refrigeration and fire suppression equipment;
and releases of SF6 from high-voltage electrical equipment typically owned by
utilities. GHG emissions from the City are primarily CO2, but also include CH4, N20,
and a small amount of HFCs.

2.3 Data Collection
Adapted from wBeso and WRI GHG Prolocol2007
The basis of any GHG inventory is the activity data which is used to calculate GHG
emissions. The LGOP provides emission factors which are applied to activity data in
the CACP software to calculate the resulting GHG emissions. With the help of
Boynton Beach staff, Florida Power and Light (FPL), Florida Public Utilities (FPU),
Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), Palm Tran, Tri-Rail, and
Florida Department of Transportation (DOT), CDM gathered the following annual
and/ or monthly activity data to conduct the 2006 GHG inventory.
2.3.1 City Operations Emission Sources
. Electricity purchased for City facilities, including buildings, street and traffic lights,
water and wastewater treatment facilities;
. Natural gas and propane used for heating City facilities;
. Gasoline and diesel fuel use in City-owned vehicles and mobile equipment;
2-2
CDII
Section 2
Methodology
. Fugitive refrigerant releases from sources such as ice machines and refrigeration
equipment;
. Fugitive N20 emissions from wastewater treatment processes and effluent
discharge;
. Solid waste emissions from the decomposition and combustion of municipal solid
waste (M5W); and
. Fuel combustion from City employee commuting.
2.3.2 Community-wide Emission Sources
. Electricity purchased in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors;
. Natural gas purchased in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors;
. Estimated fuel oil consumption by the residential, commercial, and industrial
sectors based on statewide data;
. Modeled vehicle miles traveled within City limits for all private vehicles;
. Public transportation within City limits from the Boynton Beach Trolley, Palm Tran
and Tri-Rail; and
. Solid waste emissions from decomposition and combustion of MSW.
2.4 Data Assumptions and Calculations
In some cases, the data provided for the GHG inventory was for calendar years other
than 2006 or was not specific to Boynton Beach but instead Palm Beach County or the
state of Florida. In these cases, CDM made assumptions and/ or calculations based on
best practices and experience with other municipal GHG inventories. The data
sectors which were modified are discussed further below with an explanation of how
CDM calculated 2006 data.
2.4.1 City Operations
2.4.1.1 Water and Wastewater Treatment
The City of Boynton Beach provides over 100,000 people with potable water service.
The incorporated population for Boynton Beach was 67,644 in 2006 while the
remaining 30,000 or so people being served by the City water utilities live just beyond
the City limits. Because the City solely owns and operates all the water treatment
plants and facilities, all GHG emissions from electricity associated with water
treatment are included in the city operations total.
2-3
CDII
Section 2
Methodology
The South Central Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (SCRWWTP) is co-owned by
Boynton Beach and Delray Beach, Florida. SCRWWTP serves approximately 200,000
people between the incorporated and unincorporated populations of Boynton Beach
and Delray Beach. SCRWWTP tracks annual flow rates from the incorporated and
unincorporated areas of both cities. Approximately 57% of SCRWWTP serves
incorporated and unincorporated areas of Boynton Beach, therefore, 57% of the
process and electricity use GHG emissions from SCRWWTP are attributable to the
City.
2.4.1.2 Employee Commuting
The home addresses of 549 Boynton Beach employees were provided by the City. The
distance from each unique zip code to Boynton Beach was estimated using Google
Maps and geographic information systems (GIS) were used by Florida Atlantic
University (FAD) student interns to calculate the actual distance for Boynton Beach
employees who are also residents. The average one way commute of Boynton Beach
employees was just over 8.5 miles. An additional 362 employees are covered by
Chapter 119, F.s., Florida's Public Records law, and home addresses were not
available; the average commute for other employees was used to determine the
number of miles employees covered by Chapter 119 drove to work. To determine the
total number of miles driven by employees annually, the one way mileage was
doubled to account for round trips and multiplied by 235 working days per year. 235
working days per year assumes a five day work week, ten holidays, five sick days,
and ten vacation days in 2006. These addresses were of employees as of September
2009, however it was assumed that the overall number of employees and distance
traveled to work would not change from 2006 to 2009.
2.4.2 Community-wide
2.4.2.1 Fuel Oil
Fuel oil consumption within the City is not readily available through vendor
information. To estimate fuel oil consumption, CDM used fuel oil consumption and
sales data for the state of Florida, available from the U.s. Energy Information
Administration (EIA) 2. The EIA breaks fuel oil consumption data down into fuel oil
type and sector consumption as shown in Table 2. Each sector consumption value
was then scaled back based on the population of Boynton Beach as compared with the
population of the state of Florida. While fuel oil consumption in the state of Florida is
less than in other states due to climate, it is important to include for a complete GHG
inventory .

2.4.2.2 Palm Tran
Palm Tran is a public bus system that operates 35 bus routes in Palm Beach County.
Palm Tran provided all diesel and gasoline consumption in 2006 from their buses,
cars, and trucks. This fuel consumption needed to be scaled down to estimate the
amount of fuel used within the borders of Boynton Beach. CDM determined that of
the 35 bus routes there were 218 major stops listed on the Palm Tran schedules.
Thirteen of those stops were within Boynton Beach on six different bus lines, meaning
that nearly 6% of major Palm Tran stops were in Boynton Beach. In order to attribute
some of Palm Tran's emissions to Boynton Beach, CDM estimated that 6% of the total
fuel consumption provided by Palm Tran was combusted within Boynton Beach.
2.4.2.3 llri-Ftail
Tri-Rail is a commuter train that runs from Miami International Airport to Mangonia
Park Station in West Palm Beach with a total of 22 stops and one stop in Boynton
Beach. The CDM Team was able to provide Tri-Rail diesel fuel and B20 biodiesel
usage for 2009. There was a significant jump in Tri-Rail ridership between 2006 and
2009. Rather than use 2009 activity data, which may skew GHG emission results,
COM estimated 2006 fuel usage based on the difference in Tri-Rail ridership between
2006 and 2009. The total estimated 2006 diesel and B20 fuel was divided by the tqtal
number of stops to determine the share of fuel attributable to Boynton Beach.
The CACP software allows for the input of B100 biodiesel, but not B20. B20 biodiesel
is a mix that consists of 20% B100 and 80% conventional diesel fuel. CDM input 20%
of the total B20 usage as B100 and 80% of the total B20 as diesel fuel in the CACP
software.
2.4.2.4 Boynton Beach Trolley
The Boynton Beach Trolley began operation in 2005 and provides local transportation
to major points in the City. Two trolleys operate five days a week; each trolley is
driven on a 12 mile round trip loop 7.5 times per day. This results in a total of 46,800
miles annually. The CRA determined that the trolley has a fuel economy of about
seven miles per gallon. This results in approximately 6,686 gallons of gasoline fuel
2-5
CDII
Section 2
Methodology
consumed annually. CDM entered this fuel total into the CACP software to calculate
GHG emissions.
2.4.2.5 Community Vehicle Miles Traveled
Annual vehicle miles traveled (VMT) within the City of Boynton Beach for 2008 were
compiled by the DOT. Isolated Boynton Beach VMT was not available for 2006;
however DOT provided a ratio of VMT change for Palm Beach County from 2006 to
2008. DOT recommended applying this same ratio to the 2008 VMT for Boynton
Beach to estimate 2006 VMT.
2.5 Community-wide Double Counting Avoidance
Some city operations data overlaps community-wide data since it is provided as an
aggregate for the entire city. The city operations data is often more detailed and
complete which allows the City to pinpoint emission sources; for this reason city
operations data was subtracted from the community-wide totals to avoid double
counting, rather than the other way around. In addition, community-wide VMT takes
into account several other on-road vehicle categories. For the City of Boynton Beach,
the following totals were adjusted before being entered into the CACP software:
2.5.1 Electricity
FPL provided electricity consumption within City limits separated into several
categories. CDM clarified that all electricity usage from the "Other Sales to Public
Authority" was from city operations and part of the "Public Street & Highway
Lighting" was from city operations - the rest was from lights owned by the state of
Florida. The remaining double counted electricity usage from city operations was in
the" commercial" category. To avoid double counting, COM subtracted the city
operations totals from the categories list above to determine an accurate community-
wide total electricity usage total.
2.5.2 Natural Gas
FPU provided natural gas consumption within City limits separated into multiple
commercial categories., The "commercial" category referenced in this report includes
"Large Volume (Commercial/Industrial)", "General Service Commercial", and
Commercial generator only" categories as defined by FPU. In addition, the
commercial category includes the "Public Authority (govt housing/buildings)"
category, which includes city operations natural gas as well as Palm Beach county
schools in Boynton Beach. COM subtracted all city operations usage from the
"commercial" category.
2-6
COM
Section 2
Methodology
2.5.3 Vehicle Miles Traveled
The city vehicle fleet, employee commuting, the Boynton Beach Trolley and Palm
Tran fuel usage was all double counted in the community VMT data provided by
DOT since these vehicles are included in DOT's modeling estimates. The total GHG
emissions in this category in the CACP software still contains emissions from the city
vehicle fleet, employee commuting, the Boynton Beach Trolley and Palm Tran
because the data was provided in different units and could not be separated until
GHG emissions were calculated. CDM subtracted these double counted categories
separately when calculating GHG emission totals for this report.
2.6 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculations
2.6.1 CACP Software
The activity data was in most cases input directly into the CACP software. The CACP
software then uses emissions factors from the LGOP to calculate the resulting GHG
emissions. Each GHG has a global warming potential (GWP) which represents the
ability of each GHG to trap heat in the atmosphere and is the ratio of the heat
trapping ability normalized to that for C02 (i.e., C02 has a GWP of 1). GWP are
applied to the raw GHG emissions in the CACP software to report emissions in terms
of carbon dioxide equivalents (C02e). GWP values from the Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change (IPCC) Second Assessment ReporP were used, as shown in Table
3 below. Although these are not the most up-to-date GWP values available according
to the latest IPCC reports, they are currently used by the CACP software, the LGOP
and other accounting protocols.

Methodology
2.6.2 Electricity
The emission factors for grid-based electricity in the LGOP are based on the Us.
Environmental Protection Agency's (EP A) Emissions & Generation Resource
Integrated Database (eGRID). eGRID is a compilation of electricity emission factors
developed from the annual, actual emissions data from electricity generation
nationwide. This data is aggregated by electric grid-region, creating regionally based
electricity emission factors. All electricity used in Boynton Beach (both for city
operations and community-wide) is from the Florida Reliability Coordinating Council
(FRCC) eGRID region as shown in Figure 2.

2.6.3 Manual Calculations
Some GHG emissions calculations were best performed outside of the CACP
software, due to the availability of more precise techniques. These calculations
included wastewater treatment plant operations, residual fuel oil, and solid waste.
Once the calculations were made, the GHG emissions were input directly into the
CACP software. The process and methodology for calculating GHG emissions from
each of these sources is described below:
\..
CDIVI
2-8
CONI
Section 2
Methodology
2.6.3.1 Wastewater Treatment
As mentioned in section 2.4.1.1, SCRWWTP is co-owned by Boynton Beach and
Delray Beach, Florida and serves approximately 200,000 people between the
incorporated and unincorporated populations of Boynton Beach and Delray Beach.
N20 emissions from treatment processes were calculated based on the total
population that is served by the plant and the emission factors from the LGOP for a
wastewater treatment plant without nitrification4. Nitrous oxide emissions from
effluent discharge were calculated using the measured average of total nitrogen
discharged at SCRWWTP and the effluent emission factor provided by the LGOps.
Since the emissions from SCRWWTP are jointly those of Boynton Beach and Delray
Beach, CDM took the ratio of the annual flow rates from both cities, and applied them
to total GHG emissions to calculate GHG emissions from wastewater treatment for
Boynton Beach. The N20 emissions from treatment without nitrification and effluent
discharge Boynton Beach were added and input into the CACP software.
2.6.3.2 Residual Fuel Oil
The CACP software automatically calculates GHG emissions from distillate fuel oil
but not from residual fuel oil. According to the EIA, residual fuel oil was only used
by commercial and industrial facilities. CDM applied the appropriate emission
factors from the LGOp6 to calculate GHG emissions from residual fuel oil and input
the total kilograms of each GHG into the CACP software.
2.6.3.3 Solid Waste
All municipal solid waste (MSW) generated within the City is disposed of at the Solid
Waste Authority (SWA)'s North County Resource Recovery Facility (NCRRF) in West
Palm Beach, Florida. The NCRRF consists of both a landfill with a landfill gas
recovery system and a waste-to-energy facility. As such, the GHG emissions from the
NCRRF include fugitive and combusted CrL emissions from the landfill and C02,
CrL and N20 emissions from the combustion of MSW at the waste to energy facility.
The GHG emissions from the landfill were calculated based on the landfill gas flow
rate using the equations and methods provided in the LGOp? For the waste to
energy facility, CDM used emission factors for CO2, CH4 and N20 generated per ton
of MSW combusted from the EP A Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rules.

CDIII
Section 2
Methodology
To determine the GHG emissions from NCRRF attributable from MSW generated by
Boynton Beach city operations, a ratio based on the annual 2006 MSW accepted by
NCRRF to the annual 2006 MSW generation from city operations was applied to the
total GHG emissions. The same method was used for annual 2006 MSW generation
community-wide. City staff provided MSW generation from city operations and
community-wide. CDM was able to provide information specific to NCRRF. GHG
emissions were input directly into the CACP software. The calculation below details
this method and is applicable for both city operations and community-wide solid
waste calculations:
A+B=C
CxD=E
Where:
A = Total MSW generated by Boynton Beach (either city operations or community-
wide)
B = Total MSWaccepted at NCRRF
C= Percentage of MSW accepted at NCRRF that was generated by Boynton Beach
(either city operations or community-wide)
D = Total GHG emissions from MSW at NCRRF
E = Total GHG emissions at NCRRF from MSW generated by Boynton Beach (either
city operations or community-wide)
2.7 Operational Boundaries
The LGOP separates city operations GHG emissions into three categories, referred to
as "operational boundaries" which allows for more effective GHG management and
serves to minimize the potential double counting of emissions (see Figure 1). The
categories, also called Scopes, include:
· Direct; Scope 1 Emissions associated with fuel combustion by stationary and
mobile combustion sources, and fugitive emissions from refrigerant equipment
directly owned and operated by the City;
· Indirect; Scope 2 Emissions from purchased electricity or steam generated by
utilities or service providers for city-operations; and
· Optional; Scope 3 Other indirect emissions, such as those from employee
commuting and solid waste. All emissions from the community-wide GHG
2-10
COM
Section 2
Methodology
inventory are considered Optional/Scope 3 emissions because the City of
Boynton Beach does not have direct control over these sources.
GHG emissions from city operations are split into operational boundaries in Section 3
(see Table 6, Figure 6) to assist the City in determining which emission sources the
City has the most direct control over reducing.

2006 Baseline GHG Inventory Results
3.1 City Operations Results
The City of Boynton Beach's total GHG emissions from city operations is broken out
by sector and by source below. GHG emission sectors refer to local government
sectors such as buildings and facilities or streetlighting. Categorizing GHG emissions
in terms of sectors can make it easier to communicate GHG emissions tothe public or
internally for policy decision makers. GHG emission sources refer to the actual
source of emissions, such as electricity or natural gas combustion.
3.1.1 Results By Sector
The City of Boynton Beach's total GHG emissions from city operations in 2006 is
about 29,300 metric tons of C02e. Figure 3 shows this breakdown by detailed sector.
Over half of Boynton Beach's GHG emissions from city operations come from the
water utilities sector, which includes electricity consumption and process emissions
from water and wastewater treatment, which is a typical breakdown for U.s. cities.

3.1.2 Results By Source
Overall, the largest source of emissions is from electricity use in buildings, facilities
(including water delivery and wastewater facilities), streetlights and traffic lights,
which common in U.s. cities. Electricity makes up over 75% of the total city
operations GHG inventory with over 22,000 metric tons of C02e as shown in Figure 5.
Boynton Beach's city operations GHG profile is typical of other Florida cities
including North Miami, Florida9 and Clearwater, Florida10 as shown in Table 4.
GHG emissions from electricity typically make up the majority of GHG emissions for
municipailities, despite being indirect emission sources that the City does not have
direct control of reducing at the power plant level.

When considering GHG emissions from city operations, it is also important to analyze
emissions by the operational boundaries to determine where the City has the most
direct control over reducing GHG emissions, as discussed in Section 2. Evaluating
emissions in this way also assists the City to assess their GHG emissions in the context
of emerging and existing GHG reporting and regulations as discussed below. Table 6
and Figure 6 shows that the City has direct control and regulatory responsibility over
only 17% of total GHG emissions. The City also has indirect control over about 76%
of the total GHG emissions that are from electricity consumption; the City may
manage the electricity consumed, however the physical GHG emissions from
electricity consumption occur at power plants generating electricity. This means that
the power plant operators have regulatory responsibility for these emissions, not the
City.

In October 2009, in response to the Consolidated Appropriations Act,12 the EPA
published mandatory GHG reporting requirements (MRR) 13 under its existing
authority under the federal Clean Air Act14. Multiple Direct/Scope 1 sources such as
stationary combustion will be required to report GHG emissions to the EP A if they
trigger certain thresholds for reporting. Under the MRR, most direct (Scope 1)
combustion emissions sources greater than 25,000 metric tons of C02e annually will
be required to report GHG emissions on an annual basis beginning in 2011.
In addition to the finalized MRR, U.s. Congress may pass additional legislation that
could potentially reduce this reporting threshold to 10,000 metric tons C02e. The
House of Representatives passed the American Clean Energy and Security Act15 in
June 2009; the Senate is currently debating the Clean Energy Jobs and American
Power Act16 which is similar legislation that establishes the same reporting threshold.
Finally, the Carbon Limits and Energy for America's Renewal (CLEAR) Act17 was
introduced in December 2009 proposing greenhouse gas emissions reduction
standards which will require some level of accounting and reporting
It has been determined through this GHG inventory, the City of Boynton Beach does
not have any sources that would trigger mandatory reporting to the EP A or the
current legislation in Congress at this time. The State of Florida has established
mandatory GHG reporting for electricity generation sources18, but it is uncertain how
this requirement may be implemented pending resolution of the State's approach on
cap and trade legislation. While this does not impact the City of Boynton Beach at
this time, other states have established economy-wide GHG emissions reporting
requirements with much lower thresholds. COM recommends that the City should
continue to track GHG emissions as well as federal and state reporting requirements
to ensure they remain in compliance with all GHG reporting requirements as they
evolve at the state and federal levels.

includes GHG emissions from electricity, natural gas, and fuel oil used in residential,
commercial, and industrial buildings, private vehicles traveling within city limits,
public transportation and solid waste disposal. Overall, the largest source of
emissions is transportation as shown in Figure 7 and Table 7. The next largest source

When community-wide emissions are broken out by sector, transportation is still by
far the largest sector making up nearly half of the City's emissions as shown in Figure

emissions profile. City operations emissions account for a very small part of total
emissions at only 3%, which is typical of US cities. While the city operations
emissions make up a small piece, the City has the opportunity to lead the rest of the

The City has taken a significant step in GHG and energy management by establishing
a GHG emissions baseline inventory for the entire City. The City may use this
information to make informed GHG emissions and energy management decisions as
well as focus funding towards high yielding projects for city operations. The City
may also use this information to guide policy developments and decisions and
prioritize broader projects that may reduce community-wide emissions. This GHG
emissions inventory is a key step towards establishing a long-term Climate Action
Plan (CAP) for the City of Boynton Beach.

City Operations Greenhouse Gas Emission
Forecasts
4.1 Forecast Overview
The City of Boynton Beach is interested in establishing an aggressive, achievable, and
informed GHG reduction goal for city operations GHG emissions. Forecasting GHG
emissions assists the City in further analyzing the projected path of GHG emissions in
the City and understanding what a set goal could mean.
GHG reduction goals that should be taken into account include an analysis of external
factors such as population changes, electricity demand, adopted and proposed
regulations, and other factors rather than an subjective percent reduction. Subjective
reduction goals can result in difficulty towards making progress because they are not
based on analysis and therefore may not be feasible. In order to begin to develop a
goal for the City, CDM analyzed three different GHG emissions forecast scenarios for
city operations. At this time, forecasts were created for city operations only because
the City does not have direct control over the community-wide GHG emissions.
While these forecasts do not necessarily translate into a GHG reduction goal that
should be adopted by the City, they give the City a better understanding of what
types of issues should be considered.
4.1.1 Forecast Scenarios
Forecast scenarios were established based on the best information available to provide
conservative, reasonable estimates. Three GHG emissions forecast scenarios were
chosen for city operations and based on the 2006 Baseline GHG Inventory for city
operations:
· Scenario 1: Business as Usual; including population estimates, the City's newly
adopted four day work week, the EIA's projected electricity sales and generation
mix in the FRCC region, the City's 10- Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan, and
adopted Florida legislation such as the California (CA) motor vehicle standard.
· Scenario 2: The U.s. Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement; which calls for cities to
reduce their GHG emissions at least 7% from 1990 levels by 2012 - in line with the
U.s.'s Kyoto Protocol reduction target. Over 1,000 communities have signed the
agreement.
· Scenario 3: Pending and Non-binding Florida legislation; including Florida
Executive Order 07-127, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's

proposed renewable portfolio standard rule, and the results of the City's
employee transportation survey.
4.1.2 Forecast Years
Each of the three forecast scenarios were projected from the 2006 baseline year to
2012, 2025, and 2035. 2012 was chosen as a forecast year because it is the target year
for Scenario 2's GHG reductions. From there, the mid-term year of 2025 and the long-
term year of 2035 were chosen to provide more or less 10 year forecasts from the 2006
baseline.
4.1.3 Forecast Sectors
The considerations for each forecast scenario impact each of the GHG emissions
sectors differently. For that reason, it is necessary to create GHG emission forecasts
for each GHG emissions source and sector. In addition, sources were split by
operational boundary as shown in Table 10.
4.2 Forecasting Methodology and Assumptions
Unlike city operations GHG inventories, there is not a published standard or protocol
for creating GHG emissions forecasts. This is important to keep in mind when
comparing Boynton Beach's emissions forecasts results to other communities, which
may take into consideration more or less forecasting information. To conduct the
GHG emissions forecasts, CDM followed the best practices and extensive experience
using the data outlined below.
4.2.1 Scenario 1: Business as Usual
The BAU scenario takes into account the current projected path of GHG emissions
based on population, City plans and operations, Florida regulations that have or will
take effect since the 2006 baseline year, and national electricity projections.
4.2.1.1 Population Projections
The City provided population projections from the Bureau of Economic and Business
Research (BEBR) at the University of Florida which had been adjusted from Palm
Beach County's population. BEBR population projections are through 2030. CDM
modeled population through 2035 assuming that growth would continue on a linear
path.
Population growth from 2006 through 2012, 2025, and 2035 was assumed to impact
several city operations GHG emissions sources, including natural gas and propane
used in buildings and facilities, refrigerant releases, wastewater processes and
electricity use, the City vehicle fleet and mobile equipment, employee commuting,

and solid waste. These are based on the assumption that as the population increases,
City services will likely be in higher demand and need to increase. GHG emissions
from these sources increase at the same rate as the population increase in this forecast
scenario.
4.2.1.2 Boynton Beach Policies and Plans
Since the 2006 baseline GHG inventory, the City adopted a four day work week. It
was assumed that this would cut several emission sectors by 20% in all forecast years
including electricity, natural gas and propane used in buildings and facilities, and
employee commuting.
The City created a 10-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan22 in 2008 which outlines
expected reductions in water use. The plan expects a 3.1 % reduction in water use
through 2026. The annual reduction was applied in all forecast years to the electricity
use at water delivery facilities sector.
4.2.1.3 U.S. Energy Information Administration
The EIA projects electricity sales and generation mix23 in the FRCC region through
2035. COM used the commercial electricity sales growth rate from 2007 to each of the
forecast years to project the increased electricity usage in the building and facilities
and streetlights and traffic signals sectors. The rate from 2006 was not available but
assumed to not have changed significantly. This commercial sales growth rate was
not used for electricity used in water delivery because the City provided expected
usage in the Water Supply Plan. For wastewater facilities, electricity usage is more
directly tied to population than commercial sales; therefore, forecasted GHG
emissions are tied to population growth.
The generation mix for the electric grid is expected to change over time and affects the
emission factor in all four electricity usage sectors. To calculate electricity emission
factors for 2012, 2025, and 2035, total projected CO2 emissions from the FRCC region
were divided by the total projected electricity generation to create an emission factor
in metric tons of C02/kwh. C~ and N20 emission factors were assumed to change
at the same rate as the CO2 emission factor and allowed CDM to estimate GHG
emissions in COze, consistent with the 2006 GHG baseline inventory. It should be
noted that unlike eGRID, these emission factors do not take into account transmission
losses; as such, they are conservative emission factors and may be slightly high.

4.2.1.4 Adopted Florida Legislation
In February 2009, Florida adopted the California motor vehicle standards24, also
known as the UPavley rules". These rules contain GHG exhaust emission standards
for 2009 and subsequent model passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and medium-duty
vehicles sold in the state. The fleet average GHG emission rate steadily decreases for
2009 through 2016 model year vehicles. The California Air Resources Board (CARB)
published a report25 in 2008 that analyzed the impact the Pavley rules would have in
other states in terms of annual metric tons of C02e reduced by 2016 and 2020. The
annual impact of these rules for each forecast year was applied to GHG emissions for
the City's vehicle fleet and employee commuting.
4.2.2 Scenario 2: The U.S. Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement
The u.s. Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement calls signatory municipalities to
reduce their GHG emissions at least 7% from 1990 levels by 2012 - in line with the
U.s.'s Kyoto Protocol reduction target. Over 1,000 communities have signed the
agreement since its inception.
To forecast GHG emissions for this scenario, CDM scaled the 2006 baseline GHG
emissions back to 1990 levels using the City census data. CDM then applied a 7%
reduction to the estimated 1990 levels to forecast 2012 GHG emissions. Since the
Mayor's Agreement only mentions reductions through 2012, it is assumed that 2025
and 2035 GHG emission levels are constant from that point.
4.2.3 Scenario 3: Pending and Non-binding Florida Legislation
The last scenario forecasts GHG emissions for city operations based on specific
expected and possible legislation and rules outside of the City's control. GHG
emissions targets and mandates are the subject of multiple state and federal legislative
proposals which make this scenario perhaps the most difficult to predict. There are
several other sources that could have been taken into account, such as additional draft
EP A rules, however for our purposes, it was decided to focus on select Florida-based
possibilities only to create a reasonable GHG emissions forecasts which may directly
impact the City's GHG emissions.

4.2.3.1 Florida Executive Order 07-127
The Florida Executive Order 07-12726 (EO) was signed by Governor Crist in July 2007.
While the EO is currently not codified in the Florida Statutes or Florida
Administrative Code it is non-binding, but it is reasonable to assume that this may
serve as a basis for future required GHG emissions reductions. The EO establishes
GHG emissions reduction targets as follows:
· By 2017, reduce GHG emissions to 2000 levels
· By 2025, reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels
· By 2050, reduce GHG emissions by 80% of 1990 levels
It is assumed that this EO is focused on GHG reductions by the above percentages for
all emission sectors. As Table 6 and Figure 6 show, the City only has direct control of
17% of GHG emissions; the EO goals were applied to the direct GHG emissions
sources only including natural gas and propane used in buildings and facilities,
refrigerants, process emissions from wastewater treatment, mobile equipment, and
the vehicle fleet.
CDM scaled the 2006 baseline GHG emissions back to 2000 levels using the City
census data and applied the annual GHG reduction rate for 2006 through 2017 (i.e.,
the next reduction goal in the EO) for 2012. 2025 GHG emissions were equal to the
1990 levels determined in Scenario 2. The annual GHG reduction rate between 2025
and 2050 was used to determine 2035 levels.
4.2.3.2 Proposed Renewable Portfolio Standard
The EO also directed the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC) to establish a
renewable portfolio standard27 (RPS) which would require a certain percentage of
renewable energy to be generated in the state. In January 2009, FPSC presented a
draft RPS28 to the Florida House of Representatives and Senate. The RPS would
establish the following targets:

. 12% by January I, 2016

These targets include a 25% carve out for solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind renewable
energy sources, meaning that 25% of 7% (1.8%) of electricity needs to be generated by
either solar PV or wind by January 1, 2013. At this time, the RPS has not been passed,
however 35 other states in the U.s. have a RPS, so it is reasonable that a RPS or similar
rules may become law in Florida in the future. Additionally, several legislative
proposals have been made in the 2010 session ranging from adopting the proposed
Rule into the Florida Statutes to completely striking the requirement for the
Department of Environmental Protection to promulgate the Rule. Therefore, a RPS is
unclear at this time.
Using the EIA generation mixl8, CDM determined that the FRCC region is on track to
meet the RPS in 2012 and 2015 with the exception of the solar PV and wind carve out,
meaning that the adjusted RPS needed to achieve the desired GHG reductions are
1.8% and 3.0% respectively. In 2018 and 2020, the FRCC region is expected to meet
approximately half of the RPS standard, meaning that the reductions needed to be
achieved are 7.6% and 9.9% respectively.
CDM applied the 2012 adjusted RPS standard to the BAU GHG emissions forecast for
all electricity sectors to determine Scenario 3' s expected GHG emissions in 2012. The
same method was used for 2025 and 2035 emissions by applying the adjusted 2020
RPS standard to the BAU GHG emissions forecast.
4.2.3.3 Boynton Beach Employee Transportation Survey Results
The City conducted an employee transportation survey which was included in the
Green Community Alliance report 29 . The survey indicated that 91 % of employees
currently travel to work alone. Of the 91 %,39% would consider carpooling and 60%
would consider using Palm Tran. CDM assumed that 50% of those who would
consider alternative transportation would actually use it, meaning that 27.5% of all
employees would change their transportation mode. To account for the survey
results, forecasted GHG emissions were reduced 27.5% from BAU in each forecast
year.
4.2.3.4 Solid Waste Greenhouse Gas Emission Forecasting
GHG emissions from solid waste disposal were kept constant with the BAU because
at this time, there are no pending regulations which may impact these emissions that
CDM could readily use with confidence.

4.2.3.5 Issues Regarding Pending Legislation
Given the uncertainty surrounding certain legislative proposals, the City should
consider how the changing regulatory landscape may impact its efforts toward
achieving GHG emissions goals. A fundamental aspect of complying with any of
these evolving regulations will be an understanding of the City's 2006 baseline and
how the strategies contained within the Climate Action Plan may need to evolve over
time to accomplish the City's goals.
4.3 Results
Scenario 1 shows a decrease in GHG emissions by 2012 of 11 % from the 2006 baseline,
suggesting that both external factors and City action may result in lower GHG
emissions from the baseline. These results are despite expected moderate population
growth, because the external factors of the CA motor vehicle standards and a cleaner
electricity grid contribute to a long term decline in GHG emissions. In addition, the
City's four day work week and expected reductions in potable water use contribute to
lower GHG emissions than the 2006 baseline. These emission levels remain
approximately constant through 2035, showing that the effect of the external factors
and City action compensate for population growth through 2035.
Scenario 2 shows a 36% decrease in emissions from the 2006 baseline. Municipalities
which sign the Mayor's Agreement often find that reductions from current levels are
in the range of Boynton Beach's and results in a less achievable reduction goal than
7% below 1990 levels seems to indicate. This is largely due to increases in population
and the building boom between 1990 and 2006.
Scenario 3 shows an initial decrease in GHG emissions by 2012 from 2006 levels of
14%, and continues on a nearly steady reduction path, of 8% below 2012 by 2025 and
8% below 2025 by 2035. This is results in a total reduction by 2035 from 2006 levels
of 27%.
The results of each GHG emission forecast scenario is outlined in Table 11, Table 12

4.4 Analysis of Forecasting Results
COM recommends evaluating the difference between the BAU GHG emission levels
(Scenario 1) and Scenario 3 because Scenario 3 is in anticipation of state GHG
reduction goals and initiatives. Should the EO or RPS become binding, the gap
between these scenarios represent the emission reductions the City may be expected
to achieve. The difference between Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 is not further evaluated
due to the fact that it would be financially and technically infeasible to reduce city
operations GHG emissions by 36% from the 2006 baseline in two years (See Table 12).
Scenario 3 achieves a 27% reduction by 2035 and gives the City 25 years to achieve
these GHG reductions, allowing the City to plan and allocate necessary funding over
4-9
CONI

Forecasts
time. The total difference between Scenario 1 and Scenario 3 is 3% in 2012, 13% in
2025, and 18% in 2035.
The 2006 baseline GHG inventory shows that the City has direct control over only
17% of GHG emissions (see Table 6, Figure 6). These are the sources that may be
impacted by the EO. The largest of these sources is the vehicle fleet, making up over
86% of direct emissions sources. The City may consider initiatives or policies that
may reduce GHG emissions from vehicle fleets in order to meet the EO, including
reducing VMT, idling, and purchasing fuel efficient vehicles as needed.
GHG emissions from electricity, if regulated, will likely be regulated at the source,
meaning at the power generation facility rather than by the consumer (the City).
However, the RPS or other regulations will increase costs initially for the electric
generators which will likely be passed on to the City. Given that most of the City's
GHG emissions are from electricity, the City should consider initiatives to reduce
electricity use which will reduce GHG emissions and costs.
Other emissions, including City employee commuting and solid waste, are optional to
include in GHG inventories: The City may consider waste reduction strategies and
encouraging alternative modes of transportation for employees to reduce this sector
of GHG emissions.
Since lowering GHG emissions from electricity may have the best monetary payback
of various GHG reduction projects, the City may choose to achieve reductions in the
electricity sector. Table 13 outlines GHG reductions scenarios to achieve reductions
from BAU of 3% in 2012, 13% in 2025, and 18% in 2035 respectively, largely from
electricity use only. The manner in which these GHG reductions may be achieved is
explored further in the Climate Action Plan.
4.5 Expanding on Greenhouse Gas Emissions Forecasting
The City may consider updating and expanding their GHG emissions forecasting as
more information becomes available. The City may consider including more
regulations, legislation, and statutes as they become adopted or estimate emissions
based on actual or expected capital improvement projects. In addition, the City may
consider forecasting GHG emissions from the Community if they were to be
considered in City GHG reduction goals.
