- Increased Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 9% compared to the 2022 baseline due to increased fuel consumption and reduced HVO usage.
- Increased natural gas usage by 27% due to increased plot deliveries and longer handover periods.
- Limited availability and volatile pricing of HVO fuel.
- Homeowners replacing low-flow fittings with unrestricted ones, hindering water reduction efforts.
- Complexity of waste management and data collection.
- Need for increased data collection and analysis to guide site-specific decisions.
