- Limited availability and volatile pricing of HVO fuel
- Increased natural gas usage due to increased plot deliveries and longer handover periods
- 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
