TCAAP Energy Integration Resiliency Framework Policy White Paper – Exhibit IV – TCAAP Redevelopment Code 81 Exhibit IV – Recommended Modifications to TCAAP Redevelopment Code This section contains recommendations for modifications of the TCAAP Redevelopment Code to be considered based on energy vision principles. Our recommendations focus on general efficiency or renewable energy strategies, recognizing that individual strategies will be use-type- and site-specific, and therefore challenging to capture through overall guidelines. Considerations include shading of rooftop solar, efficient outdoor lighting, and allowance of passive energy building design techniques, especially for passive heating and cooling, daylighting, and wind blockage.50 In addition, we specify recommendations that may allow for additional flexibility for unique flagship or demonstration buildings. 1.1. Purpose and Intent Consider specifically adding ERAB energy and carbon goals within the Purpose and Intent (e.g. Creating equitable, sustainable, resilient, efficient, and affordable development options…) 3.3 Development Review Process Table 3-3 Administrative Modifications: 1.b: location of regulated street – consider adding an indication that the review may also consider alterations to street location in order to increase rooftop solar energy potential. (e.g. add criteria: “May consider changes in potential output from rooftop solar energy systems.”) 2-d: Sidewalk and streetscape standards criteria – consider specifying that “desired reduction in building energy use, or increased solar PV or solar thermal shading” are examples of the development context that changes can be 50 For an interesting example of new low energy use design options, see this case study of Seattle’s Bullit Center: http://blog.2030palette.org/case-study-the-bullitt-center/ Credit: University of Minnesota Solar Suitability
