* The community will seek strategic partnerships to allow homebuilders to make available to residences battery storage of generated solar energy as a purchase or lease option. This should include the opportunity for connection to software that permits load shaping and maximizes renewable energy, including resiliency from impacts of storms and other natural disasters. * Weather-based smart irrigation controllers will be located in common areas and strategic use of turf will generally be limited to public recreational spaces. Target residential rear yard turf areas shall be limited to locations near patios and other highly used spaces and subject to approval in the design review process. No turf is permitted in residential front yards. Specific Area Objectives The following are specific areas suggested for builders to focus on in order to build more sustainable homes. In addition to these elements, Title 24 of the California Building Code and local jurisdictional regulations shall be consulted. Energy * Reduce the total energy demand and peak use as compared to homes built to the standards of the existing building code. * Facilitate the replacement of a significant amount of the total energy needs with solar energy. * Create energy systems and home construction that save the homeowner money. 2-33 February 2022
