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