TCAAP Energy Integration Resiliency Framework <br />Energy Efficiency Strategies <br /> <br /> <br /> 59 <br />4. Energy Efficiency Strategies (Demand Side Management) <br />Given the pressing timeline of near-term infrastructure investments, much of the Framework is <br />focused on energy supply options for TCAAP and the Arden Hills community. However, implementation <br />of improved building energy efficiency will be necessary to achieve the community’s low-carbon, <br />resiliency goals. The following are the leading opportunities for near-term, low energy use <br />development at the site. Unlike many next steps for energy supply and infrastructure, the demand-side <br />initiatives will strongly depend on engaging developers who can help implement the TCAAP energy <br />vision. These recommendations make use of the truly unique opportunities at TCAAP, which include: <br /> Availability of a local, renewable ground heat energy source via the site remediation process. <br /> Advantages of both greenfield development and large scale deployment to optimize <br />economies of scale. <br /> Focus on replicable designs and technologies to simplify developer implementation. <br /> Emphasis on actual building performance, beyond prescriptive design requirements. <br /> Important strategic partnerships with Xcel Energy and the Center for Sustainable Building <br />Research at the University of Minnesota. <br />4.1. Energy Resilient Design and Construction <br />To meet the energy resilience goals for TCAAP, building design verification and benchmarking will be <br />needed on an ongoing basis. As development moves forward it is recommended that the County, the <br />JDA, City Staff, and development consultants utilize the following building standards, technical <br />resources, planning tactics, and proposal criteria to attract and streamline energy efficient <br />development. <br />4.1.1. Meeting SB 2030 Guidelines <br />All commercial developments on the TCAAP site can be measured against the requirements of <br />Minnesota’s Sustainable Buildings 2030 (SB 2030), a performance based building energy standard <br />developed to incrementally move new construction to net zero energy design by 2030. The standing <br />program is not only a standard for design and construction, but an ongoing energy performance <br />benchmarking program and guideline. The standard is designed specifically for Minnesota’s climate, is <br />administered by the Center for Sustainable Building Research (CSBR), and is supported by both the <br />State of Minnesota’s Division of Energy Resources and Xcel Energy. <br />SB 2030 has several advantages as a consistent site standard, as outlined in the Policy White Paper.
