Page 19 <br />Colorado Department of Local Affairs Code Cohort <br />Phase 1: Regional adoption of the 20211ECC and supporting amendments including solar - <br />ready requirements, EV- ready requirements, electric- preferred requirements, and <br />additional efficiency requirements such as cool roofs and horticulture lighting. These <br />amendments are applicable to residential and commercial buildings. <br />Phase 2: Beginning in August 2022, com m unities will work together to develop a roadm ap <br />to net zero new construction code for the region by 2030. <br />Participating communities include: <br />• City of Louisville <br />• Town of Superior <br />• Boulder County <br />• Town of Erie <br />• City of Lafayette <br />• City of Northglenn <br />• City and County of Broomfield <br />• City of Long m ont <br />The City of Boulder, City of Westm inster, and Town of Berthoud did not participate in Phase <br />1but will participate in Phase 2. <br />Box 1:Code cohort overview. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Alignment with the regional code cohort's current IECC 2021supporting amendments, and <br />the future roadmap to net zero new construction would begin a code update process that <br />increases stringency over time, allowing Council to take a stepped approach toward net zero <br />code adoption by 2030. This approach would align Louisville with its neighboring <br />communities and would provide Louisville an opportunity to co -develop a regional plan to <br />get to net zero new construction. It's important to note that while a regional roadmap will be <br />developed with the goal of consistency across the region, compliance, enforcement, and <br />timelines for net zero code adoption may look unique to each community within the Cohort. <br />Alignment with the Phase 1 code recommendations for the Cohort would increase efficiency <br />requirements for mixed -fuel buildings but not all -electric buildings and does not require all - <br />electric or net zero. This option represents the smallest step forward for above code policy <br />options the City could consider and adopt. <br />3.Z.Z POLICY UPTION is MtKUY rtKt-UKMANCE STANDARDS FOR BUILDING TYPES <br />Group LID T{} <br />ENSINE MRS E+►�M"lrsg& 5uValrabilRy 1.4111 v I i I I <br />15 <br />
