Refer to section 2 of the Guidelines for full details. The purpose of this documentation <br />package is to enable a streamlined submittal and review of the requirements as listed in section 3.3: <br /> <br />3.3. Documentation. Developers will work with consultants and staff to submit documentation of <br />SDG compliance. <br />3.3.1. Sustainability Certification <br />3.3.1.1. Proof of registration with LEED (or other accepted certification). <br />3.3.1.2. Checklist of the planned certification credits to be achieved. <br />3.3.1.3. Within one year of building occupancy, provide documentation reporting the <br />certification level and credits achieved. <br />3.3.2. Energy Efficiency <br />3.3.2.1. All buildings and tenant improvements: energy model report showing <br />achievement of 50% better efficiency than the applicable Minnesota Energy Code, <br />certification from the DOE’s Zero Energy Ready Home (ZERH) program, or Phius CORE <br />certification as a Passive House. <br />3.3.3. Electrification <br />3.3.3.1. Mechanical plans documenting that buildings are all-electric. <br />3.3.3.2. If granted a waiver to use gas service, documentation showing offset of an <br />equivalent amount of carbon emissions from offsite sources. <br />3.3.4. Renewable Energy <br />3.3.4.1. PV system specifications showing that panels meet requirements of Section 2.2.3. <br />3.3.4.2. PV system sizing documentation indicating that system will generate enough <br />electricity to meet requirements of Section 2.2.3. <br />3.3.5. District Energy <br />3.3.5.1. Mechanical plans documenting that buildings will be connected to a District <br />Energy System for heating and cooling, if provided by Declarant, its affiliates, or other <br />unrelated third parties.
