BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)
The Energy and Conservation Commission (ECC) is made up of 7 commission members and 2 staff liaisons with experience in the fields of energy and conservation. The purpose of the ECC is to consider ways to conserve energy and water, and reduce waste and pollution. This includes making recommendations where the City can reduce the amount of money it spends on resources and ways to limit the City's impact on the environment.
Billings was recently awarded LEED for Cities Gold after completing a resource inventory and certification led by the ECC. This presentation will highlight the results of the LEED for Cities certification scorecard and identify opportunities for improvement. The presentation will also discuss the next steps and focus of the ECC.
