<br />TCAAP DESIGN GUIDELINE SUMMARY
<br />
<br />LRS - 2/1//09
<br />
<br />
<br />1. SMART ELECTRIC GRID (XCEL Energy - pilot in Boulder, CO.)
<br />. Future enerav will convert to electric use - coal, nuclear, hydro, natural
<br />gas, wind, solar, hydrogen, fuel cells, bio-fuels, etc.
<br />· Need for increased electric supply - onsite vs. offsite - wind, solar,
<br />future-hydrogen (fuel cell), battery, PHEV, geothermal, stand-by
<br />· See "Post Carbon Cities" - Plan for energy and climate uncertainty
<br />
<br />2. GREEN/LEED DESIGN
<br />· Conserve - energy efficiency use
<br />· Green - LEED criteria - Innovative Design Process, Location &
<br />Linkages, Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy & Atmosphere,
<br />Materials & Resources, Indoor Env. Quality, Awareness & Education
<br />· Multi-unit housing - Density, minimize corridors, vertical construction,
<br />east, west and south natural light transparency, cross ventilation
<br />
<br />3. TRANSPORTATION
<br />· Traffic hubs or depots - County Rd H, link to Co Rd E and Lexington
<br />· Walk able, bike able, people mover community, electric vehicles
<br />· Plan for vehicle enerav chanae and mass transit
<br />
<br />4. COMMUNITY DESIGN - Who decides?
<br />. Design for self sufficiency and sustainability
<br />· Access to all amenities - walk able, bike able, electric vehicle
<br />. Medical services
<br />· Learning, continuing education, community center
<br />· Include affordable housing - seniors, disabled, other
<br />· Design for energy change/climate change - see "Post Carbon Cities"
