C-2 TW185\1\1011577.v13 For purposes hereof, “Core Sustainability Elements” shall mean: • (2) Darcy ground-source heat exchange wells with associated piping & heat exchangers. • Backup boilers & hot water piping to connect with ground-source heat exchange wells. • Approximately 18 Rooftop mechanical units (air-source and water-source heat pumps). • Additional electrical service & associated feeders to support electric HVAC equipment. • Additional controls associated with new building systems and Building Automation. 2.1 Sustainability Certification. Any sustainability credit funds, as described above, if so designated by the County, may be used in order to pursue, for the commercial building and tenant improvements on the Subject Property, LEED BD+C New Construction certification at the Silver level or above using the newest version available at the time of registration. The LEED boundary for each improved parcel of land within the Development shall be the same as the boundary of that parcel. 2.2 Building Decarbonization. 2.2.2 Energy Efficiency. Prior to issuance of the building permit for the tenant improvements to be performed at the Building, Developer shall demonstrate, through the Plans and a whole building energy model submitted to the JDA that will become a material term of the Development Agreement, that the building and tenant improvements will achieve not less than 26% better energy efficiency than the applicable Minnesota Energy Code when compared to an ASHRAE Standard G baseline. 2.2.3 Electrification. Prior to November 1, 2025, Developer shall demonstrate, through the Plans and a whole building energy model submitted to the JDA that will become a material term of the Development Agreement, that the Core Sustainability Elements will be installed to make the building heating system majority electric. Any fossil fuels used to provide energy to the building must be calculated and such non-electric fuel use must be either offset by an equivalent amount of carbon emission reduction from the building each year; or by payment of an upfront fee to purchase at least twenty (20) years’ worth of offset credits. Following the expiration of such credits, the commercial building must either be supported by 100% electric power or must purchase carbon credits to offset the deficiency until such time as the commercial building is supported by 100% electric power. 2.2.4 Renewable Energy. The commercial building shall, at a minimum, have a PV-/solar-ready (“PV-ready”) roof. Prior to the issuance of a building permit for the tenant improvements to be performed at the Building, Developer will obtain and provide copies to the JDA, of
