Updated 9/5/2025 All panels used in PV systems must be rated as Tier 1 panels and, if applicable, qualify under the Inflation Reduction Act for the Investment Tax Credit. Any renewable energy certificates (RECs) generated from PV systems in the Development shall be credited to the Development as a whole. Additionally, all purchased electricity must come from a green power purchase program and include bundled RECs. 2.3. District Energy. If a District Energy System is available, all buildings shall connect to the District Energy System for heating and cooling. 2.4. Embodied Carbon. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all buildings shall conduct a whole building life-cycle assessment and achieve at least a 10% reduction in global warming potential, using the calculation methods established in LEED BD+C: New Construction. This Section does not apply to single family homes or tenant improvements within commercial buildings. 2.5. Electric Vehicle Infrastructure. The Development shall include infrastructure to support electric vehicles (EV) – as defined by the International Building Code – as follows: 2.5.1. Provide electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) in a minimum of two percent (2%) of all public parking spaces. Clearly identify and reserve these spaces for the sole use by plug-in electric vehicles. 2.5.2. For non-residential parcels where four or more vehicle parking spaces are provided, not less than 4% of the total number of parking spaces or not less than 8% of designated employee- only parking spaces shall be EV-ready spaces or EV-installed spaces. Not less than 30% of the total number of parking spaces shall be EV-capable spaces, EV-ready spaces, or EV- installed spaces. 2.5.3. For residential parcels, not less than 20% of the total number of parking spaces shall be EV- ready spaces or EV-installed spaces. Not less than 75% of the total number of parking spaces shall be EV-capable spaces, EV-ready spaces, or EV-installed spaces. 2.5.4. All EVSE shall meet the following requirements: Provide a Level 2 charging capacity (208- 240 volts) or greater. Comply with the relevant regional standard for electrical connectors, such as: SAE Surface Vehicle Recommended Practice J1772. Be capable of responding to time-of-use market signals (e.g., price). 2.5.5. Terminology guidance: Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE): The conductors, including the ungrounded, grounded and equipment grounding conductors, and the EV connectors, attachment plugs, and all other fittings, devices, power outlets, or apparatuses installed specifically for the purpose of transferring energy between the premises wiring and the EV. 2.5.5.1. EV-installed: A designated parking space that has all the infrastructure and a charging station to charge an electric vehicle on the day the building permit is approved. The EVSE shall be Level 2 or greater. 2.5.5.2. EV-ready: A designated parking space which is provided with a minimum 40-amp, 208/240-volt, dedicated branch circuit for future dedicated Level 2 EVSE servicing EVs. The circuit shall terminate in a suitable point such as a receptacle, junction box, or an
