196 ENDNOTES 04 POLICY LANDSCAPE April 2013, http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2013/04/13/ jakarta-set-see-high-rise-green-buildings.html. 182 For domestic buildings larger than 300 m2 to install 500 W solar PV systems, non-domestic buildings larger than 500 m2 (excluding five-star hotels) to install 2 kWp systems, and five-star hotels to install 5 kWp systems, per Ashok Pradhan, “Here comes the sun,” Times of India, 3 March 2013, http://timesofindia. indiatimes.com/city/bhubaneswar/Here-comes-the-sun/ articleshow/18771780.cms. 183 The cities are integrating the green rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment (Griha), the national rating system for green buildings, in city regulations. Griha, by its qualitative and quantitative assessment criteria, is able to rate a building on the degree of its greenness. Buildings getting Griha ratings get incentives from MNRE, per Ashok Pradhan, “Green Rating in Housing Norms,” Times of India, 10 November 2013, http://articles.timesofindia. indiatimes.com/2013-11-10/bhubaneswar/43885245_1_ bhubaneswar-development-authority-green-rating-griha. 184 Clean Technica, “Solar Mandate Approved By Sebastopol, California,” 22 May 2013, http://cleantechnica.com/2013/05/22/ solar-mandate-approved-by-sebastopol-california/; Matt Hickman, “Sebastopol Is Second California City Requiring Solar on New Homes,” Mother Nature Network, 13 May 2013, http://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/solar-mandate- embraced-by-second-california-city; Miranda Green, “California Towns Pass Law Requiring New Buildings to Have Solar Panels,” The Daily Beast, 10 May 2013, http://www.thedailybeast.com/ articles/2013/05/10/california-towns-pass-law-requiring-new- buildings-to-have-solar-panels.html. In Sebastopol, new homes that are on lots of 7,000 square feet (650 m2 ) or more must have solar panels that can produce up to 1 kW of energy at any given time. Lancaster requires solar PV systems of 1–1.5 kW for every new home built on lots larger than 7,000 square feet (650 m2 ), and 1.5 kW systems for rural homes on lots up to 100,000 square feet (9,290 m2 ); builders will also have the option of building distributed systems for new developments. 185 James Montgomery, “Reenergizing Cities with Solar Energy,” Renewable Energy World, 1 October 2013, http:// www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/article/2013/10/ reenergizing-cities-with-solar-energy?cmpid=WNL-Wednesday- October2-2013. 186 Bekezela Phakathi, “Cape Town to Launch Solar Water Heater Accreditation Programme,” Business Day, 26 July 2013, http:// www.bdlive.co.za/national/science/2013/07/26/cape-town-to- launch-solar-water-heater-accreditation-programme. 187 Tyler Hamilton, “Kathleen Wynne Fills Gap in Ontario Energy Policy,” Toronto Star, 9 November 2013, http://www.thestar.com/ business/2012/11/09/kathleen_wynne_fills_gap_in_ontario_ energy_policy.html. 188 “Toronto Closer to Launching Ontario’s First PACE Pilot Program This Fall,” Clean Break, 27 June 2013, http://www.cleanbreak. ca/2013/06/27/toronto-closer-to-launching-ontarios-first- pace-pilot-program-this-fall/comment-page-1/; “Toronto City Council Unanimously Approves Residential PACE Pilot Project for Toronto—It’s a Go!” Clean Break, 19 July 2013, http://www. cleanbreak.ca/2013/07/19/toronto-city-council-unanimously- approves-residential-pace-pilot-project-for-toronto-its-a-go/. 189 Thompson & Knight Attorneys and Counselors, “Texas Gov.

The city plan has identified “low carbon infrastructure zones,” specific areas in the city that have high energy demand loads that will be supplied by low carbon energy via the thermal network. Key features of such a system are: renewable gas developed from waste converted into substitute natural gas and injected into the gas grid; the use of “power to gas” technologies for surplus renewable electricity from variable renewable electricity generation technologies, such as solar and wind converted into renewable hydrogen or renewable gas and injected into the gas grid; and heat recovered from decentralised electricity generation for supplying heating and cooling. 195 “Indianapolis: First US City to Require Electric Vehicles,” Indianapolis: Sustainable Business News, December 2012, http://www.sustainablebusiness.com/index.cfm/ go/news.display/id/24373; “New York City Mandates Biodiesel,” Render Magazine, October 2013, http://www. rendermagazine.com/articles/2013-issues/october-2013/ new-york-city-mandates-biodiesel/. 196 C40, “Bogotá Electrifies its Public Transportation System,” 29 May 2013, http://c40.org/blog_posts/bogot%C3%A1-electrifies- its-public-transportation-system; “Volvo Sells 200 Hybrid Buses to Bogota, Colombia,” Busworld Industry News, 11 August 2013, http://www.busworld.org/articles/detail/1864; EVsRoll, “Electric Taxis,” http://www.evsroll.com/Electric_Taxis.html, viewed 17 March 2014. 197 “WEG Helps Equip Brazilian Bus with 100% Battery Drive,” press release (Jaraguá do Sul, Brazil: 13 December 2013), http://www. weg.net/ca/Media-Center/News/Products-Solutions/WEG-helps- equip-Brazilian-bus-with-100-battery-drive.
