Presentation: Ithaca Energy Code Supplement – Nick Goldsmith, Sustainability Coordinator, City & Town of Ithaca Nick Goldsmith spoke to the group about the draft City and Town of Ithaca Energy Code Supplement. His presentation delved into the project background, an overview of the requirements, details on the two compliance paths (Easy versus Whole Building), and case studies. PAB members offered substantial feedback during the discussion portion of this agenda item. Common threads that surfaced during the Q&A included enforcing code requirements now and moving forward with future code cycles; addressing mixed-used commercial and residential renovations; adaptive reuse, especially of historic structures; clearly defining what is meant by “historic” and what sort of projects fall under “major” versus “minor” renovations; incentive packages; and the need to carefully craft public outreach messaging.
