i86�G <br />13. Over 75% of the total energy u t i l i z e d - by metropolitan area industr <br />y <br />is consumed by the three industrial categories of metal manufacturing, <br />chemical manufacturing, and the paper industry. <br />14. Schoo buildings use over half of the energy nsumed b the <br />�.� y <br />_ metropolitan area government sector, but less than two percent of <br />the total energy consumed in the metropolitan area. <br />15. Transportation and space heating consume the l est ro orti <br />g proporti on of . <br />energy used in the commercial sector. <br />Goal <br />1, Maximize the conservation and efficient utilization of all types of <br />energy. <br />2. Develop environmentally acceptable energy resource alternatives. <br />1. <br />Utilize cost- effective energy conservation techniques as determined <br />by methods which consider initial operating, replacement and <br />decommissioning costs of facilities - in other words, life cycle <br />costs. <br />2. Maintain options for the potential use' of energy conservation <br />- methods, such as increased building we ather i zat i on and some forms <br />of public transit, that are not cost effective at the rpesent <br />time, <br />3. Minimize negative e.nv i ronmental effects associated with energy <br />production and use, and encourage the u t i l i z a t i o n of energy sources <br />having the least negative, environmental impact, <br />4. Encourage the utilization of renewable energy sources in order to <br />conserve nonrenewable energy resources. <br />50 Promote the recovery and reuse of nonrenewable resources such as <br />metals, as an energy conservation measure.. <br />6. F a c i l i t a t e the permanent use of solar energy and other decentralized <br />energy sources to d.i spl ace centralized energy supplies and diversify <br />energy production, <br />7. continue and intensify efforts to allocate land uses in a manner <br />that creates a compact growth form for the metropolitan area. <br />8. Promote policies that minimize the energy consumed for heating <br />c o o l i n g , lighting, appliance use, and other processes in commercial <br />industrial, and residential bui l d i ngs , <br />III -J--3 <br />
