TCAAP Energy Integration Resiliency Framework <br />Energy Efficiency Strategies <br /> <br /> <br /> 72 <br />Co-location opportunities will require coordination on the part of the JDA and County, but <br />communicating the interest to facilitate co-location upfront for developers and business will make <br />coordination easier. High energy use project types may be motivated to propose a project at TCAAP if <br />efforts are being make to facilitate energy savings. Marketing materials and RFP language that <br />highlights appropriate co-location building use types can help attract these projects. <br />4.3.7. Streetlights <br />The City of Arden Hills has included a site-wide requirement for all streetlights to be “high-efficiency <br />lighting, such as LED lamps” in the TCAAP Redevelopment Code. This requirement will trigger the <br />inclusion of high efficiency lights in the development process. Current LED technology saves <br />approximately 50% to 70% of lighting energy use. A significant cost savings occurs by additionally <br />reducing maintenance costs, given the longer life of the bulbs. The City can work with Xcel Energy to <br />utilize any future high efficiency streetlight program offerings that support this effort in a manner that <br />is timely and commensurate with current development staging. <br />4.3.8. Community participation and education <br />Community participation and education have been consistently mentioned as important factors at <br />TCAAP, both to engage the wider Arden Hills community and to leverage the energy savings potential <br />from facilitating ongoing awareness of energy use by site tenants and residents. Many details of <br />community engagement will need to be planned once the site sees its first residents and tenants. <br />However, certain engagement elements can be planned for or implemented during the early <br />development stage, including: <br /> A TCAAP or Arden Hills-wide website that tracks energy goals and performance of buildings at <br />the site, including energy and carbon savings. The website could promote major metrics and <br />milestones, and issue periodic challenges (e.g. the “lowest user” challenge). <br /> Community-wide open house or showcase events of leading edge technologies on the site, <br />especially for housing, that will attract and excite potential residents (e.g. cook a meal in an <br />all-electric kitchen) <br /> Commissioning of design or signage elements in public spaces that connect users to the site’s <br />energy resiliency goals and their contribution and participation in those goals. A targeted <br />marketing campaign around community solar development, as an early symbol of community- <br />driven, low carbon energy use at the site.
