These include provisions to require residential and <br />commercial construction projects include solar and EV readiness improvements, which ensure new <br />buildings are constructed with the electrical capacity and pre -wiring to facilitate and optimize the <br />installation of EV charging stations and rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems for future <br />use. Additionally, there is a regional effort led by Boulder County with broader goals to create a roadmap <br />to net zero new construction and a roadmap to 100 percent renewable electricity across the county, as well <br />as standardized 2021 IECC adoption across municipalities. A consultant may be hired to help lead this <br />County -wide effort and, if so, the Town could participate in the project and contribute toward this <br />cost. Staff is participating in this initial dialog and will update the Board as this work progresses. <br />iDMATTHEW G. MAGLEY <br />Town Manager <br />Town of Superior <br />124 E.
