Walking Mountains Science Center
2022 Scope of Work for Eagle County
Walking Mountain Science Center (WMSC) Sustainability Department’s objective is to act as an agent of
change to achieve local climate action goals and improve the social, economic, and environmental
resilience of the Eagle County community. We serve as a resource and education hub to inspire action
from local to global.
Eagle County’s strategic goal for climate protection is to reduce community GHG emissions each year by
5% (or 75,000 tons) to meet the Climate Action Plan goal of 50% reduction by 2030. In 2022 and 2023,
the county’s primary strategy for achieving the goal is through electrification of buildings and vehicles for
the benefit of low and middle income residents.
In support of this goal and strategy in 2022, Walking Mountains will provide the following services to
Eagle County residents through 1) Energy Smart Colorado, 2) the Climate Action Collaborative, and 3)
the Actively Green program for businesses.
1) Energy Smart Colorado
As a member of Energy Smart Colorado, Inc.,a Colorado non-profit corporation, Walking Mountains
Science Center is one of 10 Colorado community partners serving 25 counties, whose collective goal is to
make energy efficiency improvements simple and affordable while advancing community-based goals for
climate action.
As a Energy Smart community partner serving Eagle County residents, Walking Mountains Sustainability
staff shares access to Energy Smart program resources including field assessment tools, data
management and results tracking, participant enrollment support, and equipment and training for building
analysts and consultants. Through the program, homeowners and businesses receive energy
assessments, direct installs, energy advising, access to rebates, loan information, and referrals to local
contractors to complete energy improvements. Historically the majority of Energy Smart participants are
individual homeowners.
In 2022 Eagle County is increasing Walking Mountains funding by $100,000 for incentives to begin
converting existing multifamily buildings to high efficiency, all-electric homes for the benefit of middle- and
lower-income residents. This proactive work requires identifying and targeting specific buildings for
improvements, developing incentives for building owners and tenants, and assisting with project
completions through advisory and referral services.

Energy Smart’s goal is to reduce community GHG emissions by 900 MtCO2e in 2022. Program results
are measured and reported quarterly, including the number of Eagle County households that receive
home energy assessments, health and safety issues identified, number of electrification projects that
convert gas and propane heating appliances to electric, resulting annual energy savings and GHG
reduction, and community sharing of information and lessons learned through documented case studies.
During the term of this Agreement, County shall advance an amount not to exceed three hundred twenty-
five thousand dollars ($325,000) to Consultant for disbursement to third parties as described above. Such
funds are restricted for incentives, education, and outreach for the Energy Smart Colorado program
locally ("Energy Smart Funds"). These Energy Smart Funds shall be provided by County to Consultant as
follows:
a. Upon execution of this Agreement County shall advance two hundred thousand dollars
($200,000) to Consultant (the “First Distribution”).
b. At such time as the First Distribution has been or will within thirty (30) days be expended for
the purposes authorized herein, then Consultant shall provide a written notice of the same to the County.
Upon receipt of such notice, County and Consultant shall discuss and mutually agree upon the amount of
the next distribution or distributions to Consultant which shall not exceed one hundred twenty five
thousand dollars ($125,000). The distribution of the remaining funds by County to Consultant may occur
in one or more distributions to Consultant and shall be documented in writing by the parties.
c. Consultant shall deposit all Energy Smart funds delivered by County to Consultant in a
separate account with a bank that is federally insured. All funds in this separate account should be
intended for Energy Smart Colorado incentives, education, and outreach.
2) Climate Action Collaborative
The Climate Action Collaborative (CAC) for the Eagle County Community joins local governments,
businesses, schools, and nonprofit organizations to meet the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction
targets set forth in the 2016 “Climate Action Plan for the Eagle County Community.” The CAC provides
education, technical support, and secures funding for strategies that significantly reduce greenhouse gas
emissions in our community.
Eagle County contracts with Walking Mountains Science Center to serve as the project manager,
convener and facilitator of the CAC. In this role, Walking Mountains staff facilitates monthly governance
meetings and quarterly stakeholder education meetings, and manages the projects of the sector working
groups. Staff communicates on events and ongoing progress to the broader community, and maintains
DocuSign Envelope ID: B974389F-ABDF-4B99-93BF-C5C3E80179B8

the webpage to openly communicate and maintain historical memory of the CAC.
Electricity is our cleanest fuel option, and electrification of buildings and vehicles is Eagle County’s #1
strategy for GHG reduction. Priority CAC projects in 2022, by Sector:
Buildings: Adopting the most efficient building codes is a key strategy for eliminating wasted
energy, lowering energy bills, and reducing carbon emissions. Requiring adequate power supply in new
buildings allows for all-electric heating and EV charging, and is foundational to enabling electrification of
the residential and commercial building stock. CAC staff will convene key stakeholders and expert
advisers, and facilitate the adoption of the 2021 International Code Council (ICC) codes with amendments
for electrification across all local governments by the end of 2022.
Transportation: Access to charging stations is foundational to EV adoption.The Climate Action
Plan goal for Eagle County EV adoption is 2% per year until 2030, including fleets. Achieving this goal will
result in a reduction of 98,602 metric tons of CO2 or 17% reduction in transportation emissions by 2030.
The CAC will engage with municipal governments for utility and capital planning support, and with other
key stakeholders to develop a community-wide EV adoption and charging infrastructure plan, to be
completed in 2022.
Energy Supply: In support of Holy Cross Energy’s goal to provide 100% renewable sourced
electricity by 2030, the CAC will implement a Solarize incentive program in the first half of 2022. Similar to
programs in Summit and Garfield counties, the Solarize program will run a RFP process to identify and
provide residents with the lowest possible installation cost. Installations will include a mandatory home
energy assessment through Energy Smart, education on electrification, and promotion of battery storage.
Incentives and financing resources will be offered to low- and middle-income participants. The program
goal is to install at least 400 kW of new solar PV in Eagle County, with estimated GHG savings of 330
metric tons of CO2 / year.
Waste: The Climate Action Collaborative will continue to work with key stakeholders to divert
80% of all organic materials and 100% of recoverable construction and demolition (C&D) materials by
2030. Through ongoing work with Eagle County Landfill and Recycling, Walking Mountains will continue
to increase the overall diversion rate beyond the initial 30% by 2030 goal. 2022 initiatives will target yard
waste and C&D diversion efforts to reach these goals.
Water Conservation & Carbon Sequestration: The Climate Action Collaborative will convene
key stakeholders in the region to focus community efforts on outdoor water use conservation. Efforts to
improve soil for carbon sequestration will help to build a foundation for future resilience work to address
the coming changes in precipitation and temperature that we expect, as outlined in the Eagle County
Climate Impact Study.
Funding from Eagle County:
Walking Mountains Staff (2 FTE) $110,000
Marketing $ 10,000
Benchmarking community platform $ 5,000
2022 Total $125,000
Program results are measured and reported quarterly, including summary descriptions of the governance
meetings and progress toward sector working group goals.

3) Actively Green
The Actively Green Sustainable Business Program is a training, certification and engagement program that
engages local businesses in climate actions and behaviors that reduce the industry’s GHG emissions in all
sectors identified within the Climate Action Plan. In 2020, the Actively Green Business network reduced its
total GHG emissions by 55% from the previous year (2019: 10,353mt; 2020: 4,573mt); diverted 66% (156.2
tons) of waste through recycling and composting, and 30% of the businesses are purchasing renewable
energy. The program has trained more than 400 businesses and certified 80, and completed 353 significant
action items from the Green Business Trail Map.
The Actively Green program staff supports Energy Smart and the Climate Action Collaborative staff in
reaching goals for 2022-23 through the following educational opportunities and objectives:
