If a District Energy System is available, all buildings shall connect to the District Energy <br />System for heating and cooling. <br />2.4. Embodied Carbon. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all buildings shall conduct a whole <br />building life-cycle assessment and achieve at least a 10% reduction in global warming potential, using the <br />calculation methods established in LEED BD+C: New Construction. This Section does not apply to single <br />family homes or tenant improvements within commercial buildings. <br />2.5. Electric Vehicle Infrastructure. The Development shall include infrastructure to support electric vehicles <br />(EV) – as defined by the International Building Code – as follows: <br />2.5.1. For non-residential parcels where four or more vehicle parking spaces are provided, not less than 4% <br />of the total number of parking spaces or not less than 8% of designated employee-only parking spaces <br />shall be EV ready spaces or EV-installed spaces. Not less than 30% of the total number of parking <br />spaces shall be EV capable spaces, EV ready spaces, or EV-installed spaces. <br />2.5.2. For residential parcels, not less than 20% of the total number of parking spaces shall be EV ready <br />spaces or EV-installed. Not less than 75% of the total number of parking spaces shall be EV capable <br />spaces, EV ready spaces, or EVSE spaces. <br />2.6. Reporting. On an annual basis, all owners shall report monthly whole-building energy consumption, on- <br />site energy generation, electrical demand, and water use to Energy Star Portfolio Manager and ensure this <br />information is accessible to the JDA. Owners shall provide other building data upon the reasonable request <br />of JDA. <br />3. Implementation and Compliance. Developers will comply with these guidelines by following the below approval <br />and documentation processes concurrent with all other JDA review processes. <br />3.1. Approval Process. <br />3.1.1. Developer reviews Sustainability Design Guidelines and participates in kickoff meeting with <br />sustainability consultant (LHB). Developer also participates in Energy Design Assistance (EDA) <br />Program, a free energy consulting service, to understand energy efficiency options for their <br />development and develop a whole building energy model (single-family homes exempted from EDA <br />program). <br />3.1.2. Following the kickoff meeting and additional meetings as necessary, sustainability consultant <br />provides summary memo of SDG compliance measures. <br />3.1.3. Upon agreement of the Developer and staff regarding compliance with the guidelines, or upon <br />agreement with the JDA regarding the terms of a waiver, Staff incorporates SDG compliance <br />measures into Development Agreement between JDA and Developer. <br />3.2. Waivers. If the Developer determines they cannot adhere to all items in the SDG, Developer must <br />complete the Waiver Request Process. The measures in these guidelines may be modified for individual <br />developments for reasons of hardship. Alternative strategies that show demonstrable and quantifiable <br />progress towards the Green Energy Vision may be considered as alternative compliance. Developers will <br />go through the following process to request waivers to the SDG.
