Sustainable Buildings WG Recommendations: • Adopt 2024 IECC Energy Conservation Code • Create a density bonus (that stacks on top of Affordability Unlocked bonus and others) to incentivize use of Passive House standard and/or Living Building Challenge • ECAD 2.0 – require efficiency upgrades to buildings that perform poorly on energy audits • Address AEGB limitations that exist because of Smart Housing (bifurcate program) • Explicitly promoting or incentivizing Passive House Standard, Living Building Challenge and Low Carbon building throughout the CoA RFP and building funding scoring metrics (stating preference for and/or adding points to scoring for meeting these standards)
