By 2032, the city has committed to retrofit 100% of existing commercial and multifamily buildings to achieve net-zero energy standards and meet net-zero energy use standards with all new construction projects. In order to achieve these targets, the District will give preference for projects that exceed the threshold Green Building Act requirements. Projects may receive 3 additional preference points for pursuing Enterprise 2015 Green Communities Criteria 5.2b Advanced Certification: Nearing Net Zero. All project teams pursuing these points must incorporate solar photovoltaics in their project and maximize their rooftop generation potential to the extent allowable by District codes and regulations. Project teams may receive up to 5 additional points within the 2016 Affordable Housing RFP Scorecard for designing and constructing the project to achieve either full or petal certification under the Living Building Challenge program.(38.9071923°, -77.0368707°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
