Exhibit A, 2022 Scope of Work for Eagle County
Community Office for Resource Efficiency (CORE)
CORE works to lead the Roaring Fork Valley to a carbon-free, net-zero energy future. Focusing on the
built environment, CORE supports our communities to save energy and cut carbon emissions by offering
the community energy assessments, advising, and funding for qualified projects.
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 (baseline 2014). 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, CORE will provide the following services to Eagle County
residents located in the Roaring Fork Valley through its Net Zero Homes Grants program, and the Energy
Smart Colorado / Path to Zero program which serves as a foundation and platform for managing and
reporting on all CORE programs.
Net Zero Home Grants
This program provides homeowners interested in pursuing high performance homes with the opportunity
to apply for a project grant. Net Zero Homes grants are based on the Home Energy Ratings System index
(HERS) and are secured with a Projected HERS index of 10 or lower. Grants of up to $8,000 per project
are available. Under CORE’s previous funding model, we were able to offer Net Zero Home Grants to
citizens in Eagle County with funding provided through the City of Aspen and Pitkin County Renewable
Energy Mitigation Fund. In 2020, CORE accepted Net Zero Grant applications from two homeowners in
Eagle County. Applicants have two years to complete their projects, with the ability to extend their
application one year if needed.
Income Qualified Incentives
At CORE we strive to be inclusive to all our community members. We offer increased energy efficiency
support to income-qualified homes, including free assessments and advising and increased rebates.
CORE offers double rebates for income-qualified residents, available for homeowners and renters with
household income below 120% of AMI for Eagle County.
Energy Smart Colorado / Path to Zero Program
As a member of Energy Smart Colorado, Inc.,a Colorado non-profit corporation, CORE 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. CORE
has customized the Energy Smart Colorado program under the name or brand of Path to Zero. The
foundation of the Path to Zero program is the EnergySmart Colorado program platform, and its
implementation meets the same requirements and follows similar processes.
Path to Zero services and rebates apply to everyone: renters, homeowners, business owners, facility
managers, nonprofits, and institutions. There are several ways to engage with the program and access
energy advising through CORE. Each step builds on the one before to maximize the participant’s budget
and minimize carbon emissions. CORE recognizes that some projects are unique and will customize the
Path to Zero for individual customers, as needed.
CORE’s Path to Zero is based on the concept of net zero buildings — buildings that generate as much
energy as they use. Properly designed net zero buildings result in zero carbon emissions and often lower
1
DocuSign Envelope ID: BC9B9D4E-4199-45C4-812B-F948FB86270E
energy bills. CORE has broken down the process of reaching net zero and eliminating carbon emissions
into the five most effective steps for any home, business or facility whether it is new construction or a
remodel:
1. Assess + ease in : The first step is evaluating the energy performance of the space with an
energy assessment and then tackling the low-hanging fruit of efficiency, like smart thermostats
and LED lighting. This step is available to everyone, including renters.
2. Tighten building envelope : Shoring up the space by sealing drafts and insulating walls, attics, and
crawl spaces. This ensures the occupant(s) will get the most out of heating and cooling systems
and upgrades.
3. Electrify mechanicals : Replacing gas and propane appliances with all-electric options like heat
pumps and induction cooktops. By using electricity instead of fossil fuels, buildings take
advantage of renewable energy sources and an increasingly cleaner energy grid.
4. Power renewably : Using on-site renewable energy, like solar photovoltaic systems, ensures
electrified mechanicals and appliances from Step 3 are powered by clean, carbon-free sources of
energy.
5. Drive change : Installing a battery storage system and/or electric vehicle charging at home or work
to take advantage of renewable energy anytime regardless of weather and other conditions.
As the Energy Smart community partner serving Eagle County residents within the Roaring Fork valley,
CORE 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.
Multifamily Buildings
In 2022 Eagle County increased CORE’s funding by $70,000 to increase the support for Energy Smart
assessments and incentives to assist lower and middle income households, and begin converting existing
multifamily buildings to high efficiency, all-electric homes and buildings. 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.
2022 Funding for CORE Energy Programs within Eagle County:
2022 Staff Expenses:
Indirect/Administration $10,000
2022 Incentives and Outreach:
Marketing & Communications* (ongoing and targeted outreach to LMI) $ 8,000
Outstanding Net Zero grants and committed rebates (1 grant for $8,000, 5 rebates) $18,000
Assessments and Rebates (No income restrictions, all bldg types) (goal: 23 buildings) $34,000
Multi-family building assessments by contractor for LMI households (goal: 35 units) $20,000
Multi-family rebates/incentives for benefit of LMI residents (goal: 4 buildings / 35 units) $50,000
2022 Total Funding from Eagle County for Staff, Marketing, Assessments and Incentives $140,000

DocuSign Envelope ID: BC9B9D4E-4199-45C4-812B-F948FB86270E
*Marketing, Outreach and Engagement
These services provide an array of marketing, outreach and engagement components to effectively
engage individuals, businesses, property owners, and CORE members and partners. This work is
focused on both motivating actions and growing the environmental sustainability ethos across the
community. Specific deliverables include, but are not limited to:
● Broad-based climate action marketing and advertising campaigns
● Targeted promotional campaigns (i.e multi-family properties, low to moderate-income properties)
● Collateral informational material production and distribution
● Customer service staff for in-person information, technical assistance, and referral
● Public relations and communications on behalf of project-based initiatives and climate action
advancements.
Results Measurement and Reporting
CORE’s Energy Smart goal is to reduce annual GHG emissions by 150 MtCO2e in 2022. Program results
are measured and reported quarterly (beginning with the 2nd quarter), including the number of Eagle
County households that receive home energy assessments, health and safety issues identified, number
of low and middle income multifamily buildings converted to all-electric, rebated electrification projects
that convert gas and propane heating appliances to electric or, if receiving a net zero grant, are built using
electric heating and appliances, resulting annual energy savings for residents, and resulting annual GHG
reduction. Results reporting for the Energy Smart program will be sent to Eagle County’s Resiliency
Department within two weeks after the end of each quarter.
Payments from Eagle County
During the term of this Agreement, Eagle County shall advance an amount not to exceed one hundred
thousand dollars ($100,000) 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 one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) to
Contractor (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 Contractor 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 forty thousand dollars ($40,000).
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 an account with a
bank that is federally insured.
