Climate Action
The City of Coquitlam has agreed to address climate change by signing the Climate Action Charter in 2007, committing to become carbon neutral by 2012 and to reduce energy consumption and associated corporate Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from City operations by 30% by 2015.
The City is actively identifying and implementing energy conservation measures to fulfill the City’s Climate Action commitments. 41 energy conservation projects have been completed since signing the Charter, reducing corporate GHG emissions by 1100 tonnes or 17%. Energy conservation measures have included the installation of LED lights, lighting controls, programmable thermostats, lighting retrofits, waste heat recovery systems and desktop power management software. The City has also initiated real-time monitoring of building energy consumption and a staff educational campaign to lower daily energy consumption that is within the control of staff.
Community GHG Reduction Strategy
To strengthen the City's response to climate change, Coquitlam is developing a Community Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategy. This process will build on the City's existing Corporate Climate Action Plan and look at opportunities to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions across the broader community.
