JLG tells board SB 2030 90% EUI reduction remains exceptional; modeling and alternative paths likely
Summary
During the shortlist interview, JLG's sustainability lead told the board that, to his knowledge, no project has yet fully met the SB 2030 90% energy-use reduction and described modeling, payback analyses and alternative compliance as likely parts of the path forward.
During the board's Q&A, Paul Lawton asked the JLG team to identify projects that had met the SB 2030 target of a 90% reduction in energy-use intensity (EUI) and to summarize the strategies used. A JLG sustainability specialist replied that he was not aware of any completed project that has met the 90% reduction target to date and that the firm currently has pipeline projects exploring that objective.
The team said meeting the SB 2030 target will require owner–team alignment, early and repeated energy modeling and potentially consideration of alternative compliance paths. The presenter described payback-analysis tools and the use of real-time energy modeling during early owner–designer workshops to identify strategies that move the needle on operational performance.
The team framed SB 2030 work as part of a broader stewardship goal—balancing embodied carbon, operational targets and fiscal responsibility—and said early, concurrent work on program, modeling and cost will inform which combinations of strategies deliver the best balance of performance, cost and durability. The board did not request a vote on sustainability policy; the discussion concluded as the interview moved to other technical and schedule questions.
