This Plan takes into account reductions associated with the City's participation in Acterra's Green@Home program and the Energy Upgrade California program for residential energy audits and retrofits.

Agencies implementing the programs can track participation and report emissions reduction data. This Plan recommends targeting 20 percent participation rate among existing residential homes with 15 percent energy savings per household by the year 2020.
