18.94.010: PURPOSE:
The purpose of this chapter is to promote long-term economic development in Salt Lake City through the enhanced energy efficiency of existing commercial buildings, and to reduce local air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions resulting from energy consumption in such buildings through increased energy efficiency, by requiring certain non-residential buildings to benchmark and report energy consumption and investigate opportunities to implement cost-effective building energy tune- ups. Promoting and recognizing efficient buildings will contribute to a cleaner environment and a more efficient use of energy resources. (Ord. 45-17, 2017)
