TCAAP Energy Integration Resiliency Framework <br />Energy Efficiency Strategies <br /> <br /> <br /> 60 <br /> SB 2030 is designed and tailored for Minnesota buildings. <br /> SB 2030 is a performance based standard, providing guidance for the design of energy <br />efficient buildings beyond prescriptive requirements, giving developers site-specific flexibility, <br />however prescriptive guidelines are available. <br /> It has building use based standards that cover all development types applicable to TCAAP: <br />commercial, multi-family, and detached residential. <br />As a comprehensive, performance-based energy standard, SB 2030 looks at all of the systems in a <br />building and how they collectively impact its efficiency. Systems that are modeled or calculated under <br />the standard are: <br /> Building Envelope <br /> Equipment Energy Efficiency <br /> Lighting Power Density & Controls <br /> Domestic Hot Water <br /> Mechanical Systems <br /> Use of Renewables <br />Resources & Benefits <br /> Xcel Energy’s Energy Design Assistance Program is a free resource for designers and <br />developers to help meet some of the SB 2030 requirements and will help developers navigate <br />rebate opportunities. (Additional assistance is available when design teams commit to <br />designing at 30% more efficient than typical design.) <br /> Xcel Energy’s custom efficiency program allows large users to obtain tailored, performance <br />based efficiency assessments and rebates. <br />On average, SB 2030 will require commercial buildings to be 35 to 45% more efficient than the new <br />building code (IECC 2012). Table 23 outlines specific efficiency improvements for a few building types <br />relevant for TCAAP.7 <br /> <br /> <br />7 For single-family homes and townhomes, SB 2030 will be more efficient than the residential IECC 2012 code, but not to the extent of <br />commercial building requirements.
