The ordinance establishes a Green Building Program with the goal of being carbon neutral by 2030. The program sets goals to be met in two phases: in phase one, proposed projects must meet a minimum standard of 15% less energy usage than current minimum standards and require high-efficiency installations to meet water reduction goals; in phase two, proposed projects must reduce energy and water use and be LEED-certified or Green Built North Texas-certified.
