TUCSON/PIMA
METROPOLITAN ENERGY COMMISSION Sustainable Energy Standards
|
|
The Sustainable Energy Standards constitute the Tucson / Pima County Sustainable Energy Standard, or Civano Energy Code. They have been developed by the Tucson / Pima County Energy Codes Committee and has been reviewed by the Tucson / Pima County Building Code committee.
These standards will be attached to the Memorandum of Understanding executed by the City of Tucson and the developers of the Community of Civano. It will serve as the statement of energy requirements for all buildings in Civano.
It is the intention of the Energy Codes Committee that this document will also serve as a voluntary sustainable energy standard for other buildings throughout Tucson and Pima County. It provides a quantifiable standard against which building plans can be measured to ensure that the finished buildings can be expected to enjoy substantially less energy usage than would have been the case under the Model Energy Code. |
