TCAAP Energy Integration Resiliency Framework Policy White Paper – Exhibit IV – TCAAP Redevelopment Code 82 based on. Section 3.3(e) Major Modifications:  Flagship Energy Demonstrations: Recommend adding language that would support flexibility for innovative flagship or demonstration buildings that meet strict energy guidelines and serve an educational, marketing, and site investment purpose. For example:  Under 3.3(e)i: 3. “the extent to which the proposal provides public benefits…, is a net- zero or equivalent energy use building with community educational and technology demonstration value.  Alternatively, the Code could include a reference to “Flagship Energy Demonstration Buildings,” possibly as a use category, which would receive joint review and approval.

(as in section 7.2 “it is required that buildings be oriented towards pedestrian priority frontages.) Demonstrated reduction in energy use: Proposed building design demonstrates energy reduction using building modeling results from program such as Energy Design Assistance, SB 2030, or equivalent . Net-Zero Building: A building that minimizes site energy requirements and supplies the remainder with on-site renewable energy systems, on an annual basis. Renewable Energy System: A device that generates electricity or heat using only energy sources t hat are not depleted when used, including solar, wind, or geothermal energy.
