TCAAP Energy Integration Resiliency Framework Policy White Paper – Exhibit IV – TCAAP Redevelopment Code 83 Site Energy Use: Energy consumption as measured by use at the building site, as opposed to by primary energy sources, such as upstream fuels for electricity generation. Section 6.0 Building and Site Development Standards:  Sections 6.2 – 6.6, (i) Principal Building Standards — Consider adding: building may be allowed 10 percent building maximum height increase for demonstrated reduction in site energy use of 5 percent or greater from said design modification. (see definitions)51 Section 7.0 of the Zoning - Building Design Standards:  7.1 Purpose and Intent (e) Consider adding “Increase the quality, adaptability, resilience, efficiency, and sustainability…”  7.3: Façade Composition (iii) Façade Transparency Required: — Consider adding 2. All northern façade upper floor(s) may have a 40 percent maximum transparency, to reduce heat loss.52 In Section 10.0 - Streetscape and Landscape Standards:  10.2 Street Trees and Streetscape — (e) Consider adding: Street tree mature height and species may be prioritized according to associated energy benefits, such as preventing shading of rooftop solar systems and lowering building heating or cooling requirements.  10.4 Street Lighting and 10.5 Exterior Lighting — Consider additional provisions 10.4 (e) and 10.5 (a): all exterior lighting shall be high efficiency lighting, such as LED lamps. — Alternatively, all exterior lighting should be high efficiency lighting, such as LED lamps. 51 Reduction in energy use could apply to increased daylighting and / or increased passive heating. 52 35 to 40 percent glazing is generally considered good practice for energy efficiency (see http://windows.lbl.gov/daylighting/designguide/LBNL_Tips_for_Daylighting.pdf p. 33) Credit: Eastern Michigan University eastern sun shading screens
