Abstract
The City of Bexley is in the process of creating a Climate Action Plan (CAP) to achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by the year 2040. Our capstone group developed a set of actionable recommendations that the City can use to reduce GHG emissions specific to residences. We based our recommendations on best practices to reduce residential GHG emissions that may be applied in the City of Bexley. Our recommendations cover the focus areas of electricity consumption; stationary combustion; mobile combustion; and Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI). We conducted online case study research on other cities' GHG emission reduction programs for each focus area. We then conducted informal interviews with cities of interest. Our recommendations describe different community education and engagement programs for each focus area that the City can use in determining residential GHG emission reduction strategies for its CAP.
