Profiles of development projects that are subject to Section 22.20 – Green Building Requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Green Building Requirements ensures that major new projects and substantially rehabilitated buildings are planned, designed and constructed using environmentally sustainable and energy-efficient practices. The green building ordinance uses sustainable building rating systems as a technical framework to ensure that buildings throughout the City achieve a higher level in building energy use and efficiency, sustainability, and resiliency but does not require certification.
