Hood River County Energy Plan

Adopted in 2018

THE HOOD RIVER ENERGY PLAN IS A BLUEPRINT TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY RESILIENCE, INCREASE ENERGY INDEPENDENCE, AND INCREASE ECONOMIC BENEFITS RELATED TO ENERGY USE IN HOOD RIVER COUNTY WHILE REDUCING EMISSIONS FROM THE BURNING OF FOSSIL FUELS.

Marla Harvey, MCEDD


Hood River County Energy Focus Areas

Projects


● Fossil Fuel Reduction: Replace 80% of power generated from fossil fuels with clean, renewable energy in buildings, water systems, and transportation by 2050, as compared with 2016 levels.*

● Increase Resiliency and Independence: Generate 50% of the county's energy needs from new local diversified energy sources and storage capacity by 2050.

● Local Investment: Strategically utilize $25 million in revolving funds by 2025.

*the plan calls for incremental progress: Replace 30% of fuels with renewable energy by 2030, and 50% by 2040

Hood River County Energy Plan Goals


• Increase new buildings energy efficiency 50% over 2016 baseline year

• Increase existing buildings energy efficiency 40% over 2016 baseline year

• Establish buildings that can be energy independent 2 weeks in a disaster situation

1) The What and Why of Zero Energy


What's in a name?

Emerging or Verified


The building must be very energy efficient to get to Zero Energy

Energy Efficiencyis a Resource

Energy efficiency has a resource cost of

<$0.03/kWh

Lower than any other resource


Energy and ElectricitySources

in the U.S.

• Coal is 14% of total energy and Renewables are 11%

• Coal is ~ 30% nationally Of electricity generation (down from 50%)

• Hydro dominates ‘renewables’ but wind is growing the fastest and solar as well.

Growth in Zero Energy Buildings

Growth in NBI’s Getting to Zero List

700% growth in GtZ List since 2012

Growth by Construction Year482 totalUpdated = 552


US and Canada update – now over 650* Getting to Zero Projects

Map is 552 ZE

* Includes ZE, Ultra-low and Passive House


Energy Performance - how low can they go?

18 – 28 EUI

ZERO and beyond


What’s trending

Larger Buildings 44% of projects and 88% of floorspace are > 50,000 sf

Private Sector GrowthPrivate ownership is now 46% with 26% for-profit

Diversity of Types66 building types but 70% are schools, office & multifamily


many building types are getting to zero butSchools Rule
