| | 2. | | Discuss the Green Buildings Work Group tasks, template and timeline.
Minutes note: Pamela gave an overview
GHG inventory report
Iclei can be available
Small budget for consulting
Commercial and residential – should they be separate or combined in our approach
Erick
Overview of working groups
GHG inventory – buildings are a huge source
One big idea approach
Chapters to be devoted to buildings
New residential
Retrofits
Commercial buildings
Gordie – will commercial include industrial? Erick - Yes, we will address both
Linda – lack of clarity in the inventory as to commercial/industrial breakdown
Erick – industrial energy use is mostly from use of equipment
Jill – statewide building code – can municipal amendments be utilized? Erick says it appears we cannot override but there are approaches like tax incremental financing
Pam – state task force recommendations should be reviewed, esp. as to changes in building codes – for next meeting agenda

| | 3. | | Discuss time commitment of members and meeting logistics.
Minutes note: Pam on meeting logistics
Twice monthly meetings for 1.5 hours; set meeting time to be identified; select a good recurring time on next poll
Everyone attending is assumed to be interested in joining and Pam will add them unless you say otherwise
Larry – what timeline? Erick – next 3 months will be the most intense
Pam did screen share and addressed open meeting rules; email Pam directly instead of the whole work group
Pam had outline through Dec. 2021
Gordie – subgroup membership; when will we sign up; Pam – next meeting; ICLEI POLICY OPTIONS AND MATERIALS will be sent; send in your ideas which will be gathered into a big spreadsheet
Prof. Keane – are funds in place?; Pam – no, we want to gear up for federal or state funding that will be available
Social Development staff will also join us
Linda – suggesting that public Google Doc be created where all group members can enter project ideas; Pam agreed this would be a good approach

| | 4. | | Presentation from Shilpa Sankaran of Alpha Group on new housing strategy proposal.
Minutes note: Shilpa Sankaran presentation and screen share; ALPHA Group
(Erick - Rocky Mountain Institute has recommended Shilpa to Erick for this presentation)
Co-founder of Prefab SME in San Francisco; factory building affordable housing, net zero housing
Zero Energy / Carbon coalition of many organizations
Enabling residential developers
Work with Rocky Mountain Institute
Prefabricated retrofit
Netherlands public private retrofit
Energy burden in Milwaukee; also deteriorating housing stock; vacant lots where homes were demolished now owned by city; too expensive to get bank financing to put in new housing due to low housing values in the neighborhoods
Linda – majority Black census tracts
Workforce development – training on these energy efficient approaches
Air quality and circulation is esp. important to address with tighter buildings
Recipe
Orientation and slope
Small HVAC
Good thermal enclosure*
Clean energy source
Vest in class plug loads
Some dozen cities are implementing this
DOE qualification for net zero is pursued
Offsite construction – why?
Better quality control and weather control; no exposed wood; contractor and designer sit together from the start; much better coordination during production; 70-90% less waste
Distinct from “manufactured”; this is real property, not personal property; panelized and modular are two other building approaches
Components
SIP – structurally insulated panels
Etc.
Examples, from CA
3 were modular; one panel/timber frame; also 22-unit micro-unit building modular; affordable housing apartment building retrofits panelized in Netherlands – panels were snapped on, windows removed, mechanicals replaced – this inspired an industry and supply chain enterprises
Milwaukee suggestions – not a project; a sustainable business model
Integrated a&e / factory / general contractor
Committed pipeline of projects
Leading city vision, policy, codes
30th Street Industrial Corridor; Century City Building – designed for manufacturers and could now be the target venue
5-year pipeline commitment needed; financial commitment
Chicago effort – did not come through
Entrepreneurial mindset in Milwaukee; if it prevails, could make the difference
Panelized factory could be the start; module later
Bloomberg prize to be pursued
Questions
Examples nearby - Wausau Homes but is not modular; Madison has some framing but not modular; Terrace Homes in central WI
Cost? Too many variables, but on par with on site production
Erick reminds that the vacant city lots would be a target area
Materials – wood, but less of it; no formaldehyde
Top firms – very different in Europe – can be inspiration but better to look here on the east coast for modular, multifamily
City commitment, what’s needed – support it; codes; subsidies precedent is in place per Erick
Alignment of lot on orientation and other criteria? Erick said that some of this is known but GIS mapping can be done; SOLAR CAN BE LOOKED AT
Financing for retrofits; a development partner can provide some of this
Combine with park spaces; community solar, etc.? as far as shared amenities
Individual design or a portfolio to choose from? Standard lot sizes would play in, then, a catalog could be designed; Erick points out that catalog approach could be more feasible for affordability; mass customization allows you to choose components so it becomes a custom project
Factory ownership – Melissa Scanlon is putting out a book on housing coops; Erick says public private partnership could be done, not public money
Air flow issue – it’s a challenge of net zero; DOE has a great deal of research on this
Social impact bonding for funding; Financing WG will address this
Resources – not yet available
3/31 deadline on Bloomberg challenge that we could aim for
