Criteria

Two-tier criteria:
Points awarded if the council has a policy for any minimum level of onsite renewable energy generation for new building development.

Further points awarded if the council has a policy that requires 20%, or above, onsite renewable energy generation for new building development.

Clarifications

If this policy is expressed in terms of carbon reduction of energy by requiring the installation of renewable energy, instead of renewable energy usage, then the point would be awarded. A 15% reduction in carbon emissions through installing renewable energy will be treated as equivalent to a 15% requirement for total energy use from installing renewable energy.

If this policy is applied for all new developments but does not apply for small scale developments (in England this is defined as any development under 10 homes) then the council will still score the point.
