P a g e 9 o f 23 <br /> <br />Please name the action items <br />from each relevant plan that best <br />align with your proposed project: <br /> <br />This proposed project aligns with the above plan(s) in the following <br />ways: <br /> <br />Carrboro’s plan recommends a goal of a 50% reduction in per <br />capita greenhouse gas emissions by 2025, cutting the carbon <br />footprint in half over the next decade for the entire community, <br />Town operations, the buildings and transportation “sectors’, and <br />ultimately each resident and business. <br /> <br />By thoughtfully repurposing an existing building, strategically <br />located within walking distance to downtown Carrboro, The <br />ArtsCenter is practicing sustainable development. Green design <br />elements included in the renovation include more windows, solar <br />tubes and skylights for natural light as well as LED lighting fixtures. <br />The interior spaces are purpose built and adaptable, suited for <br />modern technologies. Through funding received from Orange <br />County, we will install EV charging stations as well as E-bike <br />charging stations. This project adds to these initiatives and further <br />decreases the carbon footprint of the new building. According to <br />the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, 1,00 kWh of electricity <br />using solar panels will reduce greenhouse emissions by more than <br />1,400 pounds of carbon dioxide, including 8 lbs. of sulfur dioxide <br />and 5 lbs. of nitrogen oxide. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Collaborators and Partners <br /> <br />In some projects, collaborators and partners provide essential capacity and connections.
