3.2 GOAL 1: REDUCE EMISSIONS FROM BUILDING ENERGY CONSUMPTION Action 3: Reduce emissions from residential sector building natural gas consumption. Heating is the most significant end use of natural gas in the residential sector. Weatherization and insulation are cost effective techniques for reducing natural gas use in this sector. Urbana has expended all funds from the U.S. D.O.E. Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grant, which were used in part to leverage existing incentives from the Ameren Act On Energy Program. In order to continue to drive down natural gas usage in the residential sector, a primary strategy of seeking additional funding to continue Urbana’s weatherization program is recommended. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES Energy Efficiency: 1. Seek additional funding to continue Urbana’s weatherization program. Information and Outreach: 2. Launch a campaign to encourage residents to use programmable thermostats with appropriate settings and implement simple weatherization techniques. 3. Organize education programs, create an information platform and organize site visits to completed projects in the community to highlight best practices and facilitate access to existing sources of technical expertise in the community. 4. Identify specific barriers through focus groups and surveys in the local community. IMPLEMENTATION PARTNERS • City of Urbana, Smart Energy Design Assistance Center (SEDAC), Illinois Sustainable Technology Center (ISTC), Ameren Illinois, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) • City of Urbana, Smart Energy Design Assistance Center (SEDAC), Illinois Sustainable Technology Center (ISTC) • City of Urbana, Smart Energy Design Assistance Center (SEDAC), U.S. Green Building Council Central Illinois Branch (USGBC-IL), Champaign County Sustainability Network (CCNet), Illinois Sustainable Technology Center (ISTC) • City of Urbana Existing Programs • SEDAC maintains a comprehensive list of energy incentive opportunities at http:// smartenergy.arch.uiuc.edu/energy-incentives.html. • Information regarding Illinois residential incentives can be found on the U.S. Department of Energy’s database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency at https://www. dsireusa.org. Associated Advantages 1. Annual energy cost savings 2. Improved air quality and health 3.
