Montgomery County has a very aggressive goal for emissions reduction. They aim to hit 80% reduction by 2027 and 100% reduction by 2030 for government operations. The county needed a plan for their buildings in order to reach this goal. The county provided data regarding energy use in buildings and retrofitting projects that had already began.

ICLEI built a model of local government operation building emissions looking at the 20 largest buildings individually and the smallest buildings as a group. We estimated the impact of different energy emissions factors based on the data of already implemented actions and projected this to all buildings.
All 20 buildings were addressed and 8 different actions were modeled.
