Brampton's Sustainable New Communities Program has a points based system for EV-Ready Requirements. For example, 3 points are given if Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) is provided for 10% of parking spaces. 5 points are given if EVSE is provided to 20% of parking spaces and 2 points are given if at least 50% of the parking spaces are designed and constructed to permit future EVSE installation (e.g. rough-in).

Sustainable New Communities Program is a point-based system in which development proposals earn points for achieving specific criteria (metrics) organized around the categories of Built Environment, Mobility, Natural Environment & Open Space, and Infrastructure & Buildings. Development applications are required to achieve a minimum score (within the Bronze threshold). As of January 1, 2023 all applicable applications submitted on or after this date will be required to achieve a minimum 'Good' level for the Building Energy Efficiency, Greenhouse Gas Reduction, and Resilience metric (i.e., IB-12). This requirement is in addition to the minimum 'Bronze' score required through the program.

Energy and Emissions Management Plan 2019-2024: A Zero Carbon Transition aims to achieve a zero carbon transition for the City’s new and existing corporate facilities, with three key objectives over the next five years to minimize energy intensity and greenhouse gas emissions.

A Community Emissions Reduction Progress Report will be produced every five years. The first one is expected in 2025/2026.
