Louisville is a participant in the code cohort, but City <br />Council direction led to an independent pursuit of com m unity -specific options. Based on the <br />City's current code, the primary changes Louisville would need to make are updating the <br />City's current electric preferred standard to align with the cohort, updating the solar -ready <br />appendix language to coverall buildings underthe solar -ready requirements,and including <br />additional code language to require cool roofs and high -efficiency horticulture lighting. <br />Group 14 did not conduct energy, cost, or greenhouse gas modeling for this code option, but <br />the project team decided to include it due to expressed public interest in regional alignment. <br />Additional detail on the amendments being considered by the Code Cohort are included in <br />AppendixC. <br />Group L 0 TL <br />ityyy�f�}ENGINE ERl NG E+►�MWngd&S SOIMbIIKyi ouis 14 <br />
