Research to Support Sustainable Communities in California January 29,

AB 32 and Sustainable Communities Scoping Plan identified built environment strategies to: –Make our communities healthier and more livable –Provide more mobility options 2 –Create more comfortable and resource efficient homes and workplaces

Sustainable Communities Research Crucial to achieving sustainable community goals Supports Governor’s new 2030 goals –50% renewable electricity –Cut transportation petroleum use in half –Double energy efficiency of existing buildings 3

4 Land Use/Transportation Research Senate Bill 375 Governor’s new 2030 goals Cap and Trade investment quantification Building Research Mandatory State Green Building Code (CALGreen) Voluntary green building programs State ZNE goals Governor’s green building EO and new 2030 goals Policy Drivers

Dissemination 7 Study: Green Buildings Deliver Climate Benefits

Land Use and Transportation Research 8 Prioritize strategies Calibrate models Update SB 375 targets

Research To Support SB Now Midterm Strategy Effectiveness (VMT/GHG impacts) and Decision Support Tools Evaluation of Health/Other Impacts Tracking Progress toward SB 375 Goals

Decision support: –VMT impact of 23 strategies, e.g., –Tool: quantify impact of local context on strategy effectiveness –Finding: strategy location impacts its effectiveness Empirical studies: –Finding: VMT of LA households near LRT reduced ~10 miles /day 10 Strategy% VMT Change Residential Density(1%)-0.05 to -0.19% Telecommuting-48 to -90% for participant SCS Strategy Effectiveness

Co-Benefits Economic impacts from smart growth [underway] Environmental –Tool: calculates residential energy savings from more compact development –Finding: Households in more compact development use less energy Health benefits quantification [underway] 11

Near Roadway Exposure –Literature review Finding: Traffic management, barriers = promising –Evaluation of mitigation options underway –Technical Advisory Displacement –Partnering with SCAG and MTC/ABAG –Improving models and evaluating policy solutions –Engaging CBOs and other stakeholders 12 Other Impacts

Evaluate innovative strategies Ensure all Californians benefit Monitor and accumulate research on best practices Track progress toward SB 375 goals 13 Moving Forward: Decision Support

14 Buildings Research Green Building Code Voluntary green building programs Meet Governor’s EO Ground-truth benefits

Research To Support Green Building Now Midterm Verify GHG reductions from Green Buildings Technological feasibility and cost effectiveness of strategies Track progress toward 2030/2050 targets

Quantification and verification –Tool: Green Building Household Calculator –Findings for Green Buildings: 50% less GHGs from water use 48% less GHGs from waste generation 5% less GHGs from transportation  largest potential for future reductions Human behavior –Finding: Building operator/occupant behavior = GHG reduction potential 16 Buildings: Strategy Effectiveness

Technological Feasibility & Cost-Effectiveness Climate and health improvements to Green Building Code – Measures to make new buildings EV-ready – Measures to improve indoor air quality – Measures to advance cool roofs and pavements New ARB SoCal laboratory  ARB leading by example 17

Propose amendments to Green Building Code Explore zero carbon building feasibility –Technical feasibility study –Exploration of pathways toward transitioning to near-zero net carbon building Track progress toward state goals 18 Moving Forward: Green Building Policy

Additional improvements needed to achieve ZNE goals ZNEZNE Tracking Progress Local governments going beyond requirements ZNE

Conclusion Sustainable Communities Research approved by the Board is supporting: –SB 375 implementation activities, including maximization of other benefits –Advancement of state green building policy –GHG accounting of Cap & Trade investments –Progress toward Governor’s ambitious 2030 goals 20
