Recommendations

Info

County will continue to strive towards Gold when cost effective. In five years the County has increased the percentage of total building square footage that is LEED certified from 0 to 40%. Strategy All new County buildings over 5,000 square feet will meet the LEED Silver building standards adopted by the County Council. As old buildings are replaced, including the new Municipal Building, LEED silver certified or better facilities will take their place. The County will also consider adopting a policy requiring all major remodels of County facilities be done to LEED silver standards, thereby assuring that those buildings that are not demolished will be updated in a way that maximizes efficiency. Prevalence of Parks and Open Space Goal Maintain the current high level of developed parks and open space Los Alamos County offers residents. Performance From 2006 to 2010 the amount of parks and open space in Los Alamos County has remained constant at approximately 4700 acres. Using the measure of acres per 1,000 population, Los Alamos County’s developed parks and open space can be compared to other International City-County Management Association (ICMA) communities. In 2010, Los Alamos County had 37.7 acres of developed parks per 1,000 residents (includes golf course), ranking 5 th highest among 100 reporting ICMA members; and 240.7 acres of open space per 1,000 residents ranking highest among 75 reporting ICMA members. Strategy With the acquisition of each new parcel of land by Los Alamos County a portion of the parcel will be preserved as parks and/or open space. Dynamic Sustainability Indicators LAC Community Indicators Residential Energy Usage Goal The development of this goal is dependent upon the completion of a survey of Los Alamos County residents on their conservation goals. Performance Residential energy usage per capita is an indicator that looks at natural gas and electricity usage of residential accounts on a per capital basis. In 2006 the residential energy intensity in Los Alamos was 40.99 million BTU’s per capita. It has increased 14% to 46.67 million BTU’s per capita in 2011. This increase is the result of a decline in population coupled with an increase in energy usage. The increase in usage from 2008 to 2010 occurred in concert with a slight decline in Heating Degree Days (Figure 1). Heating Degree Days measures the amount of time and magnitude that the outside temperature is below a determined base temperature. In other words, it provides information on how Sustainability Plan Draft Page 4 25
much and how often a building needs to be heated. Because the Heating Degree Days did not change significantly over the three year period while energy usage increased, indicates that the weather is not the driving force of the increase. Million BTUs per capita Figure 1: Residential energy usage per capita and number of annual heating degree days for Los Alamos County. Figure 2 compares the residential energy usage per capita of Los Alamos County to other communities across the country. This figure shows that, along with the steady increase seen in Figure 1, Los Alamos residents also have a higher per capita usage than other communities.

Los Alamos usage does not match Figure 1 due to the fact that this data is in fiscal year. Sustainability Plan Draft Page 5 42.92 49.83 Hamilton, OH Decatur, GA Los Alamos County, NM 26
