Energy Planning
Council has recognized the importance of energy issues in all levels
of planning. In order to facilitate energy planning, Council has
developed an advisory report, Energy Planning in the Twenty-First
Century: A Guide for Florida Communities. The document includes
major sections dealing with coordinated energy planning, energy
efficiency and conservation, greater use of solar and other clear
alternative energy resources, sustainable communities, energy efficient
buildings, and energy efficient transportation systems. The energy-planning
guide includes a comprehensive set of energy-related goals, strategies
and policies. Many of the policies are appropriate for inclusion
in local government comprehensive plans. The document also contains
a variety of other energy-related information. Use of this document
should enhance awareness of energy issues and lead to a cleaner
environment, more sustainable communities, and a higher quality
of life. Click here to download a copy of the
Energy Planning Guide. A hardcopy of the document
is also available from Council for $6.50.
