TCAAP Energy Integration Resiliency Framework <br />Policy White Paper – Exhibit IV – TCAAP Redevelopment Code <br /> 83 <br />Site Energy Use: Energy consumption as measured by use at the building site, as opposed to by primary <br />energy sources, such as upstream fuels for electricity generation. <br />Section 6.0 Building and Site Development Standards: <br /> Sections 6.2 – 6.6, (i) Principal Building Standards <br />— Consider adding: building may be allowed 10 percent building maximum height <br />increase for demonstrated reduction in site energy use of 5 percent or greater from <br />said design modification. (see definitions)51 <br />Section 7.0 of the Zoning - Building Design Standards: <br /> 7.1 Purpose and Intent (e) Consider adding “Increase the quality, adaptability, resilience, <br />efficiency, and sustainability…” <br /> 7.3: Façade Composition (iii) Façade Transparency Required: <br />— Consider adding 2. All northern façade upper floor(s) may have a 40 percent <br />maximum transparency, to reduce heat loss.52 <br />In Section 10.0 - Streetscape and Landscape Standards: <br /> 10.2 Street Trees and Streetscape <br />— (e) Consider adding: Street tree mature height and <br />species may be prioritized according to associated <br />energy benefits, such as preventing shading of <br />rooftop solar systems and lowering building <br />heating or cooling requirements. <br /> 10.4 Street Lighting and 10.5 Exterior Lighting <br />— Consider additional provisions 10.4 (e) and 10.5 <br />(a): all exterior lighting shall be high efficiency <br />lighting, such as LED lamps. <br />— Alternatively, all exterior lighting should be high <br />efficiency lighting, such as LED lamps. <br /> <br />51 Reduction in energy use could apply to increased daylighting and / or increased passive heating. <br />52 35 to 40 percent glazing is generally considered good practice for energy efficiency (see <br />http://windows.lbl.gov/daylighting/designguide/LBNL_Tips_for_Daylighting.pdf p. 33) <br />Credit: Eastern Michigan <br />University eastern sun shading <br />screens
