On September 19, 2019, Arlington County adopted an updated Community Energy Plan (2019 CEP), which includes a goal for Arlington to be a Carbon Neutral Community by 2050. The 2019 CEP reports that 58% of greenhouse gas emissions are generated by buildings in Arlington. The Green Building Incentive Policy is the primary tool currently available to encourage the private sector to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions in new construction to help achieve Arlington’s long-term carbon emission goals. In the policy, bonus density is offered in exchange for new developments that commit to specific sustainability criteria.
