TCAAP Energy Integration Resiliency Framework <br />Energy Efficiency Strategies <br /> <br /> <br /> 61 <br />Increase in Energy Efficiency Above Commercial Building Code (IECC 2012) <br />Medium Office Stand-Alone Retail Small Hotel Restaurant Warehouse <br />42% 29% 50% 55% 60% <br />Table 23: SB 2030 (70% benchmark) Energy Efficiency Improvement over Code8 <br />The key way to incentivize use of SB 2030 is to give preference to proposals designing to these <br />standards during the RFP review process (outlined below). Development teams would have access to <br />SB 2030 tools and case studies that outline recommended cost-effective design approaches. During <br />schematic design and design development phases, the design team will set goals and targets for the <br />project with guidance from the SB 2030 team. When construction documents are nearly complete, the <br />SB 2030 team provides a full plan review with course corrections and feedback to achieve the project <br />targets. After construction, the SB 2030 team will again work with project stakeholders to initiate the <br />energy benchmarking and tracking process. The cost to the developer/builder for all of these program <br />services is approximately $8,000 to $10,000 per commercial site, a greater value than comparable <br />certification programs that do not provide review services. <br />Given the scale and visibility of TCAAP, there are potential adjustments that can be made to streamline <br />this process for developers. <br /> Targeted education and design guidelines that are site specific and assist developers to quickly <br />identify what major design features to focus on for a specific site and building type. <br /> Potential cost buy-down for the upfront cost of the study and review <br />SB 2030 may face a challenge in that while it is relevant for Minnesota buildings it does not yet have <br />the market visibility of other national standards such as LEED. Marketing of the TCAAP site could <br />include a marketing campaign around the benefits of SB 2030, to increase awareness, acceptance, and <br />a value reflection in the market. The County or City may also consider sharing review costs with <br />developers to help grow collaboration and buy-in. <br /> <br /> <br />8 Analyzed by comparing improvements in ASHRAE 90.1 and applying the 70% reduction compared to the 1989 baseline by building use <br />type (CEE).
