Over how many years will this <br />emissions reduction take place <br />as a result of your project? <br />Please consider the expected <br />lifetime of the <br />technology/program/impact, <br />etc. <br />Cob buildings have been known to last for hundreds, if not thousands, <br />of years. This one building project will provide sustainable shelter and <br />workspace for generations to come. Likewise, the sustainable food <br />forest will provide a source of sustenance and carbon capture for the <br />Orange County community for years to come. As such we do not see <br />there being a lifespan to this intervention, a significant advantage over <br />more technologically focused projects. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />14. Please describe the location of <br />the emissions reduction. <br />Where would fossil fuels have <br />been burned if not for your <br />project? For projects that <br />reduce electricity usage or that <br />generate solar energy, feel <br />free to state “grid-tied <br />electricity reduction” if you <br />cannot determine the location <br />of emissions produced from <br />electric power generation. <br />If Jubilee were to build a conventional classroom as opposed to an <br />outdoor cob classroom, significantly more carbon dioxide would be <br />burned. This includes the creation of building materials and their <br />transport to the building site, as well as the long-term emissions from <br />electricity production at the farm. The likely carbon use over the next <br />50 years is detailed in the greenhouse gas savings estimate for the <br />conventional building that was provided. <br />15. Please describe any other <br />aspect of your project that is <br />relevant to the amount of <br />emissions that it will reduce or <br />avoid. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Criterion 3 - Efficient Use of Funds <br />This criterion has a maximum score of 4 pts (out of a total of 26 pts). <br />Please estimate the impact of your project per grant dollar requested. The cost per unit of impact must reflect <br />the total program budget divided by the total impact of the project described in this application. If the proposed <br />project is new, please write N/A in the Actual Annual Project Costs column of the table below, and just fill out <br />the last column. <br />Please see the Grant Project website for further guidance and the Background and Information document for <br />information about technical assistance. Applicants are encouraged to ask for clarification and technical <br />assistance as early as possible and no later than the posted deadline for questions. <br /> Example <br />Actual Annual Project Costs <br />(If your proposed project <br />expands or accelerates an <br />ongoing effort) <br />Projected Project Costs <br />Total Cost of Project $3,765 $34,625 <br />Unit of Impact: <br />Total # of metric tons of <br />44 metric tons <br />CO2e/year 473.38 (cob <br />construction) 230.9 <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 61C3903E-05FE-49FE-A6AF-E50B7D61917E
