This project will build on Saint Paul's demonstrated success of initiatives to improve energy efficieny, reduce fossil fuel use and expand renewable energy generation, but it will take it to the next level by striving for a net-zero community. The underprinting of this requires a site-wide, integrated energy system that incorporates renewable energy sources and design efficiencies to reduce demand and reuse energy. The site will be redeveloped from scratch starting in 2018, providing a unique opportunity to design an integrated energy system.
