Climate Change Mitigation has two primary goals.
1. Reduce county building energy use 50% by 2030 compared to 2018.
The Department of Real Estate and Asset Management has many projects underway that reduce energy use, including:
• Upgrading each of the county’s libraries to be LEED-certified, which requires energy efficient equipment and other sustainable features
• Designing the new Animal Services Facility to be LEED Silver
• Upgrading the HVAC equipment and Building Automation Systems at the Government Center, Justice Center, and Juvenile Justice Center
2. Offset 25% of the county’s electricity use with solar by 2030.
The county currently has solar panels on eight buildings and is evaluating solar for 16 additional locations. One installation is owned by the county, and the remaining seven are leased through a Solar Energy Purchase Agreement. To date, the county’s solar installations have produced over 1 million kWh of electricity and saved over 1.5 million pounds of carbon dioxide equivalent from being emitted into the atmosphere.
1. Transition 25% of light-duty administrative vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles by 2030.
Fulton County currently has two plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in its fleet. Each of these vehicles has their own level 1 charging station.
In 2023 Fulton County partnered with the Environmental Defense Fund to have a fellow evaluate the county’s fleet and create an EV Transition Plan. County leadership is considering the options provided in the plan.
2. Install EV charging equipment at all viable county facilities for public and employee use.
The Department of Real Estate and Asset Management is currently pursuing a contract in which EV charging station vendors will install, own, operate, and maintain public EV charging stations on county property at no cost to the county.
