TCAAP Energy Integration Resiliency Framework <br />Energy Efficiency Strategies <br /> <br /> <br /> 66 <br />and optimum window to wall ratios, annual energy cost savings for homes in central Minnesota have <br />been shown to be approximately $300 annually. <br /> <br />Figure 11: Thermal Load with Respect to House Orientation <br />The likely locations where street orientation could vary significantly to accommodate energy <br />implications would be the Creek, the Hill, and the Transition neighborhood on the periphery of the <br />Town. It is important to remember that in order to utilize building orientation and passive solar at <br />TCAAP; two mutually dependent factors are required: <br /> Optimizing street orientation during the subdivision process <br /> Designing homes to take advantage of the passive solar resource <br />Optimizing orientation during the subdivision process would be appropriate to solicit during the RFP <br />process. These goals can be included as RFP evaluation criteria. <br />4.3.3. High efficiency commercial buildings <br />4.3.3.1. Utilizing SB 2030 <br />As shown in the White Paper, the primary energy loads for TCAAP are estimated to be in the retail, <br />commercial, and flex areas of the development. Thus DSM energy conservation measures for these <br />areas of the development will be paramount for successful achievement of the Energy Vision. <br />However, until specific use types are more clearly defined during the RFP process, specific commercial <br />building efficiency strategies are challenging to define.
