Building Efficiency 305

Some of the goals of the program include:

• Reduce operating costs and increase profit margins for property owners through better energy and water management
• Expand access to financing tools to encourage energy efficiency improvements
• Empower consumers to make more informed decisions
• Assist our most vulnerable neighborhoods by reducing utility cost burdens
• Gather information about building energy and water use to increase awareness and data-driven decision making
• Reduce water supply constraints and preserve a critical natural resource
• Improve energy and water efficiency by supporting building code training and education

Once fully implemented, BE305 is projected to have the following annual countywide outcomes:

• $37 million to $112 million in energy and water bill savings
• 234,000 to 1.1 million metric ton reduction in climate pollution emissions
• 300 billion gallon reduction in water usage

Next steps include:

• Engaging with our municipalities
• Working with FPL to create a pilot study to provide whole building electricity consumption data
• Developing training opportunities to offer to the community
• Forming a BE305 Working Group to determine how to best implement BE305 in our community

Stakeholder engagement is ongoing, and comments are welcomed at any time at [email protected] or 305-375-5593.
