City of Arden Hills Chapter 13 Zoning Code <br /> 1. Daylighting of building interiors, using window placement, skylights, <br /> solar tubes, and similar techniques; use of energy efficient, Dark Sky- <br /> compliant outdoor lighting for all outdoor building and site lighting. <br /> 2. Meeting a green building performance standard such as LEED, B3, <br /> EnergyStar,passive design,or other standard at the City's discretion. <br /> 3. Incorporation of renewable energy features, including solar, wind <br /> energy or geothermal systems, into the building or site. This may include <br /> using the Army's water treatment process to develop geothermal energy <br /> generation capability and/or the use of land and buildings for solar or wind <br /> energy generation. <br /> 4. Energy Efficiency: A minimum of a thirty-five(35%)percent increase <br /> in overall building energy efficiency as compared to the Minnesota Energy <br /> Code. Energy efficiency is to be defined by the use of purchased <br /> (generated or refined at a separate site) or on-site-generated fuels <br /> consumed per square foot of occupied space. Calculations can take into <br /> account the use of the following: <br /> a. On-site generated renewable energy, including photovoltaic, wind, <br /> or hydro generation of electricity; passive solar systems using solar heat <br /> or light; geothermal source; or other use of renewable fuels displacing <br /> the use of non-renewable fuels in the building's systems. <br /> b. Efficiency of all building mechanical systems that burn, convert, or <br /> transform the energy in natural gas, electricity, oil, coal, steam, or <br /> purchased heat or cold in any form. <br /> c. Calculations shall not include manufacturing or mechanical <br /> processes for which the State of Minnesota has not set a minimum <br /> standard. <br /> B. Stormwater management. Low-impact development techniques shall be <br /> employed within each phase of the PUD Master Plan, to include, but not <br /> limited to: <br /> 1. Use of rain gardens and other methods for bioretention of stormwater <br /> runoff. <br /> 2. Use of bioswales and similar features designed to trap pollutants and <br /> silt in runoff. <br /> 3. Integration of green roofs and roof gardens on buildings where feasible <br /> to control rainwater and other benefits. <br /> Section 1320—District Provisions <br /> Adopted:November 13,2006 <br /> Page 50 of 59 <br /> I <br /> I <br />
