Belect Rating Bystem — welopers are requiretl to select one of the approvetl sustainable builtling ratingsystems: LEED, Green Global, Minnesota GreenSta r, Green Communities, or Minnesota B3. The ratingsystems allowetl by the Policy are similar in thatthey atltlrass a witle spectrum of envi ronmental concerns inclutling energy use, water consumpfion, waste retluction, etc. The rafing systems also have significant tlifferences. It is important hrr tlevelopers to untlerstantl the benefi4 antl tlisativantages of each system Lretore selectingone. Developers are r�sfnnsible hrr Cully complying wiN Ne selecmtl rafing system antl having Ne project certifietlNerifietl as requiretl by Ne system. At the tlevelopeYs request, the Sustainabil iry Facilitator can help itlenfiry sustainable tlasign ex[er4 to assist with Nis process antl the rest of the project. 4. Register Projectwith CBBR—welof»rs neetl to regster Neir projectwith Ne Cenmrfor Sustainable Builtling Fesearch (CBBR). CBBR is a nationally recognizetl leatler in sustainable tlevelopment antl is partneringwith Ne Ciry of Saint Paul. CBBR provitles technical support antl monitors atlherence to certain aspec4 of the Saint Paul Overlay. Regstration is easy antl shoultl be tlone early in Ne tlasign process. The Sustainability Facilitatorwill explain how to regster. wwwcsbn imn 211 5. Sign Up for Energy Design Assistance — At Ne pretlesign stage, tlevelof»rs shoultl contact Xcel Energy to sign upfor Ne enhancetl Energy sign Assistance (EDA). This ireeservice provitles energy motlel ingofthe builtlingtlasign antl offers recommentlations to make Ne builtling more efficient antl provitles information about financial incentives from Xcel. Parficipation in EDA is requiretl antl will tlirecHy impact the projects ability to successfully meet the pretlicmtl energy use requiremen4 of the Saint Paul Overlay. When signing up hrr EDq explain to your contact Nat the project must comply wiN the SB 2030 prog2m (Ne energy requirement of Ne Saint Paul Overlay). Smaller projec4 (untler 20,000 square feet)will follow an alternate process for achieving pretlicmtl energy use requiremen4.www.xcelener2v com 8. Access the Website —The Saint Paul Sustainable Builtling Policy wetsim, wwwsustainablebuiltlin2ooliaumn stlu/sainwaul/ provitles an array ofvaluable resources for the tlevelopment team antl shoultl be visitetl regularly.

Gaps in communicafion can leatl to issues that may tlelay Ne projectantl/or increase cosh. 9. Track Energy Data—The Sustainable Builtling Poliq requires NatacIDal annual energy use be repormtl to Ne Minnesota Sustainable Builtling2C30 tlatabase for 10 years. This real-worltl tlata from huntlretls of builtling Nroughout the state provitles valuable insight aboutthe efficacy of builtlingmotlelingantl oNer energy efficienq strategas. What is gleanetl from this tlata will inform tutu re efior4. Notes: Take each step as early as possible or Ne project may Lre tlelayetl antl atltlitional costs coultl Lre incurretl. Noncompliance wiN the Poliq may result in remetlial action, li mitetl to the amount of funtls g2ntetl to Ne tleveloper. antl thermal regulation.
