- Challenges meeting net-zero building goals, electrifying the fleet, and reaching carbon pollution-free electricity by 2030 due to the unique nature of LM’s mission and footprint.
- Highly variable water use based on project work at both occupied and unoccupied sites.
- Limited availability of charging stations for electric vehicles across the country.
- Unique utility contracts impacting the ability to enter into retail choice energy contracts.
- Cost of renewable energy attribute certificates (EACs).
