F22 City Resolutions
Cities can enact policies which adopt pre-existing standards, simplifying the technical design of policies and outsourcing monitoring and certification activities. It can set a minimum compliance standard and number of participants, while offering incentives for additional efforts adopted by project developers and/or other private sector entities.
Chandler´s Resolution 4199/2008 - Arizona, USA. This resolution requires that all new buildings over 5000 square feet (464 m²) must obtain a LEED Silver certificate, and renovations above the same size must follow LEED guidelines. However, the resolution offers incentives for private developments that adopt more stringent LEED requirements, such as faster plan review processes, certification fee reimbursements and public acknowledgement publicised by the municipality.
