Certain College/University campuses have Blended Custom Source EUI Standards established in 20 DCMR § 3530.3. A College/University campus on the Standard Target Pathway that undergoes a major renovation, reconfiguration, addition, or demolition during the Compliance Cycle may propose an adjustment to the Blended Custom Source EUI Standard. If DOEE agrees to the proposal, the campus will be switched to a Campus Target Adjustment (CTA) ACP Option.
Under an approved CTA ACP Option, the campus must reduce its Source EUI to or below its adjusted target Source EUI. Detail on proposing an adjustment to the Blended Custom Source EUI Standard as well as corresponding CTA ACP Option proposal requirements and supporting documentation can be found in the Guidebook for Cycle 1 Chapter 4.5.
