Research output: NREL › Technical Report

Abstract

Action plans are tools for commercial building owners to create pathways for reducing energy use and decarbonize, hence reducing carbon emissions. This template and associated direction manual provides a method for creating an action plan. Originally created for the Better Buildings Low Carbon Pilot, it can also be applied to the Better Buildings Climate Challenge and for any building owner striving towards lower carbon footprints.
