Écoutez l’épisode 6 du podcast Energy Talks de TRC, où nous nous joignons à des experts de l’industrie des marchés de gros de l’énergie et des produits environnementaux pour discuter de la façon dont les services publics et les développeurs de projets valorisent les attributs environnementaux des projets de décarbonisation des bâtiments. Avec 40% des émissions de gaz à effet de serre provenant des bâtiments, ce secteur est le plus grand levier disponible pour nous de résoudre le changement climatique causé par les émissions. La décarbonisation des bâtiments fait référence à tout processus ou technologie qui réduit les émissions de dioxyde de carbone associées aux bâtiments. Cela comprend l’efficacité énergétique, l’électrification, la flexibilité de la charge et les projets de production d’énergie renouvelable distribuée. Les services publics investissent traditionnellement dans des programmes de décarbonisation des bâtiments pour obtenir des avantages du réseau, y compris une capacité évitée. Mais en parallèle, ces programmes génèrent des avantages environnementaux sous la forme d’émissions de gaz à effet de serre évitées – connues sous le nom d’attributs environnementaux – et peuvent aider à atteindre les objectifs du gouvernement et des entreprises en matière d’énergie propre. Il existe différents types d’attributs environnementaux, qui peuvent être mesurés en compensations de carbone (tonnes d’eCO2) ainsi que des certificats d’attributs énergétiques (CEE), généralement sous la forme de crédits d’énergie renouvelable ou de CER (mesurés en MWh). La valeur de ces avantages environnementaux augmente et devrait s’envoler au cours des prochaines décennies, ce qui fait du coût évité du carbone un intrant de plus en plus important dans l’évaluation de la rentabilité des programmes de décarbonisation des bâtiments. Cette tendance représente un changement de paradigme, offrant la possibilité d’attirer de nouveaux investisseurs importants dans notre industrie au cours des prochaines décennies et d’élargir considérablement les impacts de nos programmes. Beaucoup d’entre nous dans l’industrie se demandent : comment les services publics et les États qui administrent les programmes de décarbonisation des bâtiments évaluent-ils actuellement les attributs environnementaux générés par leurs programmes ?

Carrots and Sticks for Building Decarbonization: Incentive Programs and Codes & Standards
janvier 11, 2023
Decarbonization of the U.S. building stock presents an enormous opportunity to enhance the quality of our built environment and combat climate change, given that commercial and residential buildings account for over 30% of GHG emissions in the U.S. This critical transition – long underway – has recently been catalyzed by the enactment of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which promise to bolster the entire clean energy supply chain, including support for the development and enforcement of building energy codes, as well as the introduction of new consumer incentive programs for electric and high-efficiency equipment. As energy utilities and governmental agencies accelerate energy efficiency and decarbonization initiatives for the communities they serve, they are successfully leveraging two important tool sets: 1) Building efficiency and electrification incentive programs 2) Building energy codes, reach codes and appliance standards. Respectively, these are the carrots and sticks of market transformation toward building decarbonization. Presently, governmental initiatives and organizational commitments to decarbonization are motivating industry practitioners to apply these toolsets more aggressively, to accelerate this transition; as a result, the legacy market interactions between these carrots and sticks are increasingly complex and at times, contested. However, our teams and partners who expertly apply both toolsets – designing and implementing incentive programs and supporting local jurisdictions in advancing their energy codes – believe that they can work together.
