LEauisi'uyi � �111e Department of Planning and Building Safety <br />L <br />L01.01".%PO-SIN E. 749 Main Street # Louisville CO 80027 # 303.335.4592 # www.LouisvilleCO.aov <br />Gatto asked about solar procurement and what is considered "local" if a builder needed to use off -site solar <br />procurement. Schlaepfer responded that typically national solar procurement would be used. She also said that <br />PPAs would typically be produced wherever solar is the cheapest to produce. <br />Gatto also asked that since Louisville is limited in space available, is there anything that would be considered <br />"local" within Boulder County or Colorado that are in the works or are being developed. Schlaepfer explained <br />that anything within Xcel's territory would be able to contribute to that. <br />Gatto also asked as far as commercial building limiting their consumption, are there any examples of <br />municipalities (City of Boulder?) meeting those energy reductions, how viable is it? <br />McCollough asked if Gatto was referring to the EUI targets. Gatto confirmed. <br />McCollough stated that the City of Boulder set this code in 2018. They've had success with it. She stated there <br />were two ways building can comply. 1) Developer wants gas; design mixed fuel building and use onsite PV to <br />reduce EUI to meet target. Or 2) Create an all electric building, resulting in lower EUI and it's easier to hit the EUI <br />targets. <br />McCollough further added that Boulder is working on amending code to make it more energy efficient but no <br />they do not have specifics yet. <br />Gatto asked if the Google campus building in Boulder met those standards. McCollough confirmed. <br />Betzold asked if there were additional thoughts or questions from the board. <br />Berry asked what is the most pragmatic path, for example, for a 30,000 square foot warehouse? He stated that <br />options did not sound appealing for smaller developments, which is the majority of what exists in Louisville. The <br />projects he has been involved in, the first question from the developer is cost. <br />McCollough used City of Boulder as an example for performance energy code. <br />
